Answer:
(a) x = -2y
(c) 3x - 2y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
You can tell if an equation is a direct variation equation if it can be written in the format y = kx.
Note that there is no addition and subtraction in this equation.
Let's put these equations in the form y = kx.
(a) x = -2y
- y = x/-2 → y = -1/2x
- This is equivalent to multiplying x by -1/2, so this is an example of direct variation.
(b) x + 2y = 12
- 2y = 12 - x
- y = 6 - 1/2x
- This is not in the form y = kx since we are adding 6 to -1/2x. Therefore, this is <u>NOT</u> an example of direct variation.
(c) 3x - 2y = 0
- -2y = -3x
- y = 3/2x
- This follows the format of y = kx, so it is an example of direct variation.
(d) 5x² + y = 0
- y = -5x²
- This is not in the form of y = kx, so it is <u>NOT</u> an example of direct variation.
(e) y = 0.3x + 1.6
- 1.6 is being added to 0.3x, so it is <u>NOT</u> an example of direct variation.
(f) y - 2 = x
- y = x + 2
- 2 is being added to x, so it is <u>NOT</u> an example of direct variation.
The following equations are examples of direct variation:
a) Unit rate = 24 oz / 10lb = 2.4 oz / lb
This means that we need 2.4 oz of seasoning for every pound of crawfish
b) For 30 lbs....we need 30 * 2.4 = 72 oz of seasoning
c) With 36 oz of seasoning...we can cook 36 / 2.4 = 15 lbs of crawfish
The answer for either field being harvested is 6.25 days (acres/(rate of harvest))
The answer is probably seven because, even though a day can be divided into parts, the fields are done the seventh not the sixth. (I'm assuming the problem calls for whole days)
Answer: 4w-14
Step By step explanation: 4(w-2)-6= 4w-8-6= 4w-14
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll use rule of exponents to simplify expression.
Now, use the commutative property of multiplication.
In order to multiply power of the same base, we add their exponents.
→ Add exponents:
→ Multiply 3* -8
