So the word is means equals, meaning we can change it to say
"y more than 4 = -36
and more than means addition so we can put a plus sign there and we get
y+4=-36
then to solve this equation we need to get y by itself on one side and to do that we can move the 4 to the other side by subtracting it on both sides to cancel out the addition and we get y=-40
I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything still unclear!
Because X and Y vary directly, the equation is the form Y =KX. We can then solve for K by using the given values for X and Y. The equation that relates X and Y is Y= 5x
