*Given
3(x+y)=y
y is not equal to zero

*Solution 

1. The given equation is 3(x+y) = y and we are tasked to find the ratio between x and y. Distributing 3 to the terms in the parenthesis, 

                        3(x+y) = y
                      3x + 3y = y

Transposing 3y to the right side OR subtracting 3y from both the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the equation would give

                              3x = -2y

Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, 

                                x = (-2/3)y

Dividing both sides of the equation by y, 

                              x/y = -2/3

Therefore, the ratio x/y has a value of -2/3 provided that y is not equal to zero.

inna [77]
In this item, we let x be the number of corns and Y represent soybeans. The sum of these variables is 400. This is represented by the equation,
                                             x + y = 400
The amount that needs to be earn by Tony is then represented by,
                                            200x + 300y ≥ $60,000

A cylinder shaped dispenser holds 5,652 cubic centimeters of liquid soap and is now full. The radius of the dispenser is 7.5 cen
attashe74 [19]
We know that

[volume of cylinder]=pi*r²*h------------> h=[volume of cylinder]/(pi*r²)
Volume=5652 cm³
r=7.5 cm
so
 h=[5652]/(3.14*7.5²)-----------> h=32 cm

<span>the height of the soap in the full dispenser is 32 cm

</span><span>the height when 4,239 cubic centimeters of soap remains in the dispenser is
</span>h=[4239]/(3.14*7.5²)-----------> h=24 cm

hence

<span>the difference is 32-24--------> 8 cm
</span>
the answer is
8 cm

Gavin wrote the equation p=3(s+100)/4 to represent p, the profit he makes from s sales in his lawn-mowing business. Which equati
Sindrei [870]
Given the equation p = 3(s + 100)/4 

Where,
p = profit made
s = sales 

Solving for s from the given equation

p = 3(s + 100)/4

Multiply both sides by 4
4p = 3(s + 100)
4p = 3s + 300

Subtract 300 from both sides of the equation
4p – 300 = 3s
Same as, 3s = 4p – 300

s = (4p – 300)/3 
OR, s = 4p/3 – 100 
If any of these two is in the options, it’s the right answer.

Rashid [163]

Answer: The proportion of students spending at least 2 hours on social media equals 0.7257 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The typical college freshman spends an average of μ=150 minutes per day, with a standard deviation of σ=50 minutes, on social media.

The distribution of time on social media is known to be Normal.

Let x be the number of minutes spent on social media.

Then, the probability that students spending at least 2 hours (2 hours = 120 minutes as 1 hour = 60 minutes) on social media would be:

P(x\geq120)=1-P(x

Hence, the proportion of students spending at least 2 hours on social media equals 0.7257 .
