Answer:

The equation is b = -a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number b varies directly with the number a,

That is, we can write,

b ∝ a

⇒ b = ka

Where k is the constant of proportionality,

Given, if b = 2 then a = -2,

By substituting the value,

2 = k(-2)

⇒ k = -1

Hence, the equation that represents the direct variation between a and b is,

b = -a

What is the solution to the equation 4x-6= 10x-3?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

To solve this equation we need to get x by itself.

4x-6=10x-3, (the first step would be adding 6 to both sides.)

4x=10x+3 (the next step is the subtract ten from both sides.)

-6x=3 (Last step is the divide both sides by -6.)

x=-1/2

Hope this helps ;)
