If x ≠ 0, then x²/2x⁵ × 1000 is equivalent to

Not telling you the answer that just the steps, that would be cheating.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Mulitply 1000 by the fraction.

2. Simplify it(the numbers 1000 and 2 to 500 and 1)

3. Then divide the exponents(you know this I taught you:)

4. You then will get your answer! (hint: it has a negative exponent :)

5. Please try not to use next time, try it yourself:) or I may take points off, ask me next time.

a - base

b - exponent

so,

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
