Answer:

$y=5.25x$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y \propto x$

$y=kx$

$84=k \times 16$

$\frac{84}{16} =k$

$21/4=5.25=k$

$y=5.25x$

Mila [183]

The average of the set of numbers is the quotient when the sum of the numbers is divided by the number of items. Given that Markus' fifth score x, the average is x+5. The equation for solving the fifth score and the arithmetic mean is,
(85 + 92 + 82 + 94 + x) / 5 = x + 5
Further simplifying gives,
(353 + x) / 5 = x + 5
Calculating for the value of x gives x = 82.

On two investments totaling $6,000, Brian lost 7% on one and earned 8% on the other. If his net annual receipts were $420, how m

lianna [129]

Answer:

the amount of money invested at the rate of 7% is $400

the amount of money invested at the rate of 8%. Is $5600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of money invested at the rate of 7%.

Let y represent the amount of money invested at the rate of 8%.

The total amount of money that Brian invested is $6000. This means that

x + y = 6000

The formula for simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

P represents the principal

R represents interest rate

T represents time

Considering the investment at the rate at 7%,

P = x

R = 7%

T = 1

I = (x × 7 × 1)/100 = 0.07x

Considering the investment at the rate of 8%,

P = y

R = 8

T = 1

I = (y × 8 × 1)/100 = 0.08y

If his net annual receipts were $420, it means that

0.08y - 0.07x = 420 - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 6000 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.08y - 0.07(6000 - y) = 420

0.08y - 420 + 0.07y = 420

0.08y + 0.07y = 420 + 420

0.15y = 840

y = 840/0.15 = 5600

x = 6000 - y = 6000 - 5600

x = 400

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

A 2-column table has 3 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries 40, 160, 200. The second column is labeled y with entries 60, 15, 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the tables have x=40 in the first column. The function value there is ...

f(x) = (-3/8)(40) +75 = -15 +75 = 60

Only the last table has y = 60 for x = 40.

A check of the other points in that table shows they are all on the same (second) piece of the graph, as required by the problem statement. Those points are marked with a purple x in the attachment.
