Answer:
A unit rate is the rate of change in a relationship where the rate is per 1.
The rate of change is the ratio between the x and y (or input and output) values in a relationship. Another term for the rate of change for proportional relationships is the constant of proportionality.
If the rate of change is yx, then so is the constant of proportionality. To simplify things, we set yx=k, where k represents the constant of proportionality.
If you solve a yx=k equation for y, (like this: y=kx), it is called a direct variation equation. In a direct variation equation, y varies directly with x. When x increases or decreases, y also increases or decreases by the same proportion.
To find y in a direct variation equation, multiply x by the constant of proportionality, k.
For example: Given the relationship y=7x, the constant of proportionality k=7, so if x=3, then y=3×7 or 21.
Given the same relationship, if x=7, then y=7×7, or 49.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you want to get x by itself on one side. We write the equation as
. Since 14 is being subtracted from
, we add it to both sides to cancel it out,
or
.
Your answer would be D.
