A plumber has several 48-inch pipes in the back of his van. If he uses the variable x to represent how many pipes
he has, which expression can he use to figure out the total length of pipe he has available?
O 48. X
48 +48
48 + x
х
Select the best answer.

whatare you sayig

step-by-step explanation:

6^2 or 36

step-by-step explanation:

6000n

6×1000n

6×10^3 n

so we need 6n need to be a perfect cube

so n has to be 6^2 so that 6n is 6^3

what i'm saying is if you let n be 6^2 you have 6^3×10^3 or 60^3 which is a perfect cube

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x

answer: 8 years

step-by-step explanation:

the explanation is that in 8 years the child will be 20 and in 8 years the father will be 40 and 20 is half of 40.
