-3x = -12

x= 12/3

x = 4

Please help I dont understand​
Kitty [74]

Answer:

3rd option

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct variation is expressed in this form:

y = kx

1. y - 4x = 8

y = 4x + 8 is not a direct variation

2. y + 2 = 7x

y = 7x - 2 is not a direct variation

3. y - 3x = 0

y = 3x is a direct variation

4. y = 5x - 2

y = 5x - 2 is not direct variation

The answer is 355 houses, but can someone tell me how please?
Ymorist [56]
So you do 20%*426 to get 85.2 then you would subtract 85.2 from 426 because they sold 20% more than last year.  On top of that the answer isn't 355 it is 340.8.
