Mathematics

Answer:

Your answer should be -13/15 < -5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

You would want to get the fractions to common denominators which in this case is 30.

So -13/15 = -26/30 (13*2 = 26, 15*2 = 30.)

And -5/6 = -25/30 (5*5 =25, 6*5 = 30.)

Since the fractions are also negative, the number closest to 0 would be the greater fraction. Which in this case would be -5/6. I hope this helps you! :)

If (x - 4) varies inversely as (y + 3) and x = 8 when y = 2, what is x when y = - 1?

denpristay [2]

Answer:

$x=14$

Step-by-step explanation:

If two values are inversely proportional, their product must be maintained. That way, if one value goes up, the other goes down by the same extent.

Therefore, if $(x-4)$ and $(y+3)$ vary inversely, their product will be the same for all values of $x-4$ and $y+3$ .

Let $x=8$ and $y=2$ as given in the problem. Substitute values:

$(8-4)(2+3)=(4)(5)=20$

Hence, the maintained product is $20$ .

Thus, we have the following equation:

$(x-4)(y+3)=20$

Substitute $y=-1$ to find the value of $x$ when $y=-1$ :

$(x-4)(-1+3)=20,\\(x-4)(2)=20,\\x-4=10,\\x=10+4=\boxed{14}$

Find the value of x. log 3 x = 4 A.) 7 B.) 12 C.) 27 D.) 81

lakkis [162]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Choice D, 81

Discussion:

By log 3x = 4 I presume that "3" is the base not a multiplier of x. Assuming it is the base, then the equation is equivalent to

x = 3^4

= 81

This is Choice D.

Thank you,

MrB
