Inverse variation is of the form:
y=k/x, which we can express as:
yx=k we are given the point (2/3, 7) so we can solve for k
7(2/3)=k
14/3=k
y=14/(3x), so when x=7/3
y=(14/3)/(7/3)
y=(14/3)(3/7)
y=2
(x cookies) / (23 students - (12/2) students) = 2 cookies per student
[x / (23 - 6)] cookies per student = 2 cookies per student
23 students * (2 cookies per students) - 12 cookies = x cookies
The "students" unit cancels
46 cookies - 12 cookies = x cookies
x cookies = 34 cookies
4x^2+12x+7x
4x^2+19x
Was it meant to equal something or are you just simplifying the equation?
