The value of x when y =4 is 2

<h3>How to solve for x?</h3>

An inverse proportion is represented as:

k = yx

Where

k represents the constant of proportion

When y = 2, x = 4.

So, we have:

k =2 * 4

k = 8

Substitute k = 8 in k = yx

So, we have:

yx = 8

When y = 4, we have:

4x = 8

Divide by 4

x = 2

Hence, the value of x when y =4 is 2

Help ! Please ! If a/2 - b/3=1 , what is 2a+3v in terms of b?

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

A/2-b/3=1 solve for a, add b/3 to both sides

a/2=1+b/3 which is equal to

a/2=(3+b)/3 multiply both sides by 2

a=(6+2b)/3 now you can substitute this into 2a+3b giving you:

2(6+2b)/3 + 3b which is equal to

(12+4b+9b)/3

(13b+12)/3

Which of the following is a perfect square trinomial?

shutvik [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a look at what happens when squaring either of these...

$(ax-by)^2=(ax-by)(ax-by)=a^2x^2-2abxy+b^2y^2\\\\(ax+by)^2=(ax+by)(ax+by)=a^2x^2+2abxy+b^2y^2\\$

Notice a couple of patterns.

1. The last term has a positive coefficient. That rules out answer choices C and D.

2. The coefficient of the middle term is either $+2ab \text{ or } -2ab$ . So what are <em>a</em> and <em>b</em>? <em>a</em> is the square root of the x^2 term and <em>b</em> is the square root of the y^2 term.
