Direct variation means their ratio is a constant
x/y is 9/45=1/5
so when x=2, y=5*2=10

Solve for x: 4(x + 2) = 3(x − 2) A) −2 B)−4 C) −10 D) −14

BARSIC [14]

4(x+2)=3(x-2)

Multiply the first bracket by 4

Multiply the second bracket by 3

4x+8=3x-6

Move 3x to the left hand side, whenever moving a number with a letter the sign changes ( positive 3x to negative 3x)

4x-3x+8=3x-3x-6

x+8=-6

Move positive 8 to the right hand side

x+8-8=-6-8

x=-14

Check answer by using substitution method

Use x=-14 into both of the equations

4(-14+2)=3(-14-2)

-56+8=-42-6

-48=-48

Answer is -14- D)

I’m not sure where to begin

(a)

we are given

the price of apple suddenly up by $0.75

Let's assume original price be 'p'

we are given

Sam bought 3 pounds of apple at the new price total is $5.88

so, new price = old price +0.75

price of 3 apples $=3(p+0.75)$

we are given that price is 5.88

so, we get equation as

$5.88=3(p+0.75)$ .......Answer

(b)

Since, original price is p

so, we have to solve for p

$5.88=3p+2.25$

$5.88-2.25=3p+2.25-2.25$

$3.63=3p$

$p=1.21$

so, original price is $1.21 per pound........Answer
