Z varies inversely with x and directly with y. If x = 4, y = 48 and 2 = -2, find x when z = 8 and y = 96.

Value of x = 5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Combined variation states that describes a situation where a variable depends on two (or more) other variables, and varies directly with some of them and varies inversely with others.

Given: x varies directly with y and inversely with z.

i.e x \propto yx∝y and x \propto \frac{1}{z}x∝

z

1

then we have the combined variation as;

x = k\frac{y}{z}x=k

z

y

[1] where k is the constant variation.

Substitute the value of x =20 when y =8 and z = 4 to solve for k;

20 = k\frac{8}{4}20=k

4

8

Simplify:

20 = 2k20=2k

Divide both sides by 2 we get;

k = 10k=10

Now, substitute k =10 , y =4 and z = 8 to find x;

Using [1] we have;

x = 10 \times \frac{4}{8} = 10 \times \frac{1}{2} = 5x=10×

8

4

=10×

2

1

=5

Therefore, the value of x is, 5

saving = more money

step-by-step explanation:

if you have 100 bucks, and you want to buy a candy bar, even if you have one at home, if you choose not to buy it, you save.

irrational, then, just means all the numbers that aren't rational. every integer is a rational number, since each integer n can be written in the form n/1. however, numbers like 1/2, 45454737/2424242, and -3/7 are also rational, since they are fractions whose numerator and denominator are integers.
