Writing an equation is the easiest way to figure this out.

First of all, you should know that:
direct variation:
y = c * x
Inverse variation:
y = c / x
where, c is any number that belongs to the real ones.
answer:
An equation that represents an inverse variation is
y = 4 / x
Answer: False
The x intercepts represent the roots or solutions of a polynomial equation. It is possible to have more than one solution.
The angles with measurements equal to 3x+3 and 2x+22 should add up to 180°. This is because the angle which measures 2x+22 and the angle that is adjacent to the angle measuring 3x+3 are supposed to be congruent. If we mathematically translate the concept above, this can be expressed as,
3x + 3 + 2x + 22 = 180
Combining like terms,
(3x + 2x) + (3 + 22) = 180
Simplifying,
5x + 25 = 180
Transpose the constants to only one side of the equation,
5x = 155
Divide the equation by 5.
x = 31
<em>ANSWER: x = 31</em>
