3(x+y)=y
y is not equal to zero
*Solution
1. The given equation is 3(x+y) = y and we are tasked to find the ratio between x and y. Distributing 3 to the terms in the parenthesis,
3(x+y) = y
3x + 3y = y
Transposing 3y to the right side OR subtracting 3y from both the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the equation would give
3x = -2y
Dividing both sides of the equation by 3,
x = (-2/3)y
Dividing both sides of the equation by y,
x/y = -2/3
Therefore, the ratio x/y has a value of -2/3 provided that y is not equal to zero.
Answer:
Good question! The correct answer is a) increases and b) increases.
While the pair of answers a) decreases and b) decreases or the pair a) stays the same and b) stays the same would be technically correct answers, this is the best way of describing the trend of the scatter plot; typically, trends are described by how the dependent or y-variable responds to the independent or x-variable increasing.
