Answer:
x = 3
y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
9x - y = 26 ---------------(I)
9x + y = 28 ---------------(II)
9x - y = 26
9x = 26 + y
Substitute 9x = 26 + y in equation (II)
26 + y + y = 28 {add like terms}
26 + 2y = 28 {subtract 26 from both sides}
2y = 28 - 26
2y = 2 {divide both sides by 2}
y = 2/2
y = 1
Substitute y =1 in equation (I)
9x - 1 = 26
9x = 26 + 1
9x = 27
x = 27/9
x = 3
x = 3
y = 1
Answer: No, there isn't a proportional relationship.
Step-by-step explanation: In these type of problems, always divide. For it to be proportional, the number of children/ apple slices should be the same for all days. But it isn't, the value differs.
Grace is right because what Emma said was not a factor of 16 and 12.
