(a) If y varies directly as x, and y=24 when x=16, find y when x=12. (b) In a formula, z varies inversely as P. If Z is 200 when P is 4, find z when P is 10.

(a) 18

(b) 80

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) let y=kx

so, 24=16k

or, k=24/16 or, k=3/2

now, putting x=12

y=kx

or, y=(3/2)×12

or, y=3×12/2

or, y=36/2

or, y=18

(b) let P=k/z

so, 4=k/200

or, k=800

when P = 10

P=k/z

or, 10=800/z

or, z=800/10

or, z=80

3. x=14.4

step-by-step explanation:

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≤ x ≤ 40

step-by-step explanation:

20 ≤ x + 15 ≤ 55

subtract 15 from all parts

20-15 ≤ x + 15-15 ≤ 55-15

5 ≤ x ≤ 40

this means how many more cookies he has to make

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies, but no more than 40 cookies; 5 ≤ x ≤ 40
