The numbers x and y are inversely proportional. When the sum of x and y is 42, x is twice y. What is the value of y when x = -8? PLEASE HELP

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

y= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=42.   We know that x plus y equals 42.

x=2y .   We also know that x equals twice y.

2y+y=42.   Since we know that x=2y, we're going to replace x with 2y from the original equation, simplified would be 3y=42.

y=14.   3y=42 simplified is y=14, this is because we divided both sides by 3 (since 3 and 42 are both divisible by 3) (btw divisible by 3 simply means that it can be divided by 3)

x+14=42.   Now that we know what y equals, let's replace y with 14 from the original equation.

x=28.  Now that we know that x=28 and y=14, we know that y is always x/2.

When x=-8, we divide it by 2 and get, -4.

Not absolutely positive as this was all mental math, but hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

The value of the variable y at x = -8, will be negative 49.

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is a collection of ordered integers a and b represented as a/b, with b never equaling zero. A proportionate expression is one in which two items are equal.

The numbers x and y are inversely proportional. Then we have

y ∝ 1/x

y = k/x    ...1

When the sum of x and y is 42. Then the equation will be

x + y = 42   ...2

x is twice y. Then the equation will be

x = 2y   ...3

From equations 2 and 3, we have

2y + y = 42

3y = 42

y = 14

Then the value of x will be

x = 2(14)

x = 28

Then the value of k will be

14 = k / 28

k = 392

Then the equation will be

y = 392 / x

Then the value of the variable y at x = -8, will be

y = 392 / (-8)

y = -49

Thus, the value of the variable y at x = -8, will be negative 49.

In a group of 42 students, 9 study both Art and Biology.
10 study Biology but not Art.
7 study neither subject.
Given that a randomly selected student studies Art, what is the probability the student studies Art and Biology?

Answers

Answer:

The probability the student studies Art and Biology is 0.2143.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

A = a students studies Art

B = a students studies Biology

The information provided is:

N = 42

n (A ∩ B) = 9

n (A' ∩ B) = 10

n (A' ∩ B') = 7

Then the number of students who study Art but not Biology is:

n (A ∩ B') = N - n (A ∩ B) - n (A' ∩ B) - n (A' ∩ B')

               [tex]=42-10-7-9\\\\=16[/tex]

The number of students who study Art but not Biology is 16.

Compute the probability the student studies Art and Biology as follows:

[tex]P(A\cap B)=\frac{n (A\cap B)}{N}[/tex]

               [tex]=\frac{9}{42}\\\\=\frac{3}{14}\\\\=0.2143[/tex]

Thus, the probability the student studies Art and Biology is 0.2143.

Johann baked 24 cookies for a picnic with his

each of his friends the same number of
cookies and had 3 cookies left for himself, how
many did each friend get?

Answers

Answer: Each friend got 3 cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Johann gets three cookies so 24-3=21. Divide it by the seven friends that came. 21/7=3 cookies.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So 7 of his friends came to the party and 3 cookies were left for himself. To find how many cookies each friend got, first subtract the 3 cookies Johann has from the total.

24-3=21

Then divide 21 by the number of friends.

21÷7=3

So each friend got 3 cookies.

Carla has $1560 in a savings account that pays 2.5% simple interest. How much interest is earned in 3 years? b) How much money is in her savings account at the end of 3 years?

plz show work

Answers

Answer:

a)  The  interest is earned in 3 years = 112.5

b) The total amount earned at the end of 3 years = 1672.5 rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Carla has $1560 in a savings account that pays 2.5% simple interest

Interest = 1560 × 2.5 %

             = 1560 × 0.025

            =  37.5

The interest for one year = 37.5

The  interest is earned in 3 years = 112.5

b) The total amount earned at the end of 3 years

                               = Amount + interest

                               = 1560 + 112.5

                             = 1672.5

What is inequality?

Inequality can be defined as the relation of the equation containing the symbol of ( ≤, ≥, <, >) instead of the equal sign in an equation.

here,
A carpenter is cutting a 2 by 4 framing for a roof. The length needs to be 5 feet.
He allows a 0.1-foot possible variation for the length of the cut. where variation becomes,
5 - 0.1 ≤ I ≤ 5 + 0.1
4.9 ≤ I ≤ 5.1

Thus, 'I' represents the length of the acceptable length for the board in feet.

The figure below has a point marked with a large dot.
First, reflect the figure across the x-axis.
Then, give the coordinates of the marked point in the original figure and the final figure.

Answers

Answer:

Original figure: (-6,-5)

final figure: (-6, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

the point would fall at (-6, 5) because it is reflecting across the x-axis (the horizontal one) and since it is the original point is 5 away from the x-axis, the final point would be at 5 as well. the y-coordinate doesn't change because it is only reflecting over the x-axis. the shape would essentially be flipped if you reflected it over the x-axis, so the point would be on the bottom of the figure instead of the top.
