If P varies directly with the square of Q then the equation would be in the form of P = kQ2, where k is the constant of variation so the new equation would be: P = 6Q2, so when Q = 12 we have P=6*122, or P = 864

What is the goal of solving equations?

you want to isolate the variable(s) on one side and the constant or number on the other side.


How do you solve ratios?

You do not solve ratios: they are simply a form of numbers. There may be questions whose solutions require you to work with ratios but there the answer will depend on the sort of question you have to deal with.

What is the standard form of the equation of the line with slope 9 passing through the point 5 4?

It is: y-4 = 9(x-5) => y = 9x-41 Or as: 9x-y-41 = 0. Another version of the standard form of a linear equation in coordinates x and y is y = s x + k, where s is the slope and k is a constant. In this question, the slope s is directly given, as is the value of y at the point where x = 5 so that- 44. The slope is always the coefficient of x in this standard form, and the constant k can be determined by solving the equation for the coordinates of the given point: When x = 5, y = (9 X 5) + k, and y(5) is stated by the question to be 4. 9 X 5 equals 45; therefore to obtain the right value for k, 45 + k =4 or k = - 41. The standard form of the equation is therefore y = 5x - 41.
