Blank 1:

when x = 7, y = 16

Step-by-step explanation: Here, we know that y varies inversely as x.

When we have two sets of inversely related coordinates, x₁ and y₁,

and x₂ and y₂, we can use the product rule, shown below,

to find the missing value.

Here, we know that y = 14 when x = 8 so

one set of coordinates will be 8 and 14.

We want to know the value of y when x = 7.

So our other coordinates will be 7 and y.

So we have (8)(14) = (7)(y).

Simplifying, (8)(14) is equal to 112 and (7)(y) is equal to 7y.

So we have 112 = 7y.

Now we simply solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by 7.

The 7's on the right side cancel out and

on the left, 112 divided by 7 is equal to 16.

So we have 16 = y.

So when x is equal to 7, y is equal to 16.

x+y = 29, 5x + 2y = 100

i'm guessing it was a multiple first option was the correct answer

first one because it can't have a fraction in it
