Answer:
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y varies inversely with x setup is:
y = k/x
7 = (find 'k')
k = 7/1 · 2/3
k = 14/3
use what you know about 'k' and 'x' to solve for 'y'
y = 14/3 ÷ 7/3 (remember to multiply by the reciprocal when dividing fractions)
y = 14/3 · 3/7
y = 2
Let x be the number of weeks; therefore, the two linear equations are
Where T stands for the punches on the tea punch card and C for the punches on the coffee punch card.
Solving by substitution. Set T=C, then
Thus, substitute the value of x=3 into the first equation,
Thus, after 3 weeks, Josiah will have the same number of punches on each card, and he will have 23 punches on each card.
