Y = 4/x
so when x = 1 y = 4/1 = 4
answer is A. (1,4)
Let x be equal to the number of drinks Yasmine consumed.
Jose had 2 times that drink so his number of consumed drink would be represented by 2x.
Sally had 3 fewer drink than Jose so her number of consumed drinks would be represented by 2x-3.
Altogether, the three of them consumed 72 drinks so your equation would be:
x+2x+(2x-3)=72
add like terms together:
5x-3=72
have the term with x be alone on one side of the equation, in this case by adding three to both sides:
5x=75
now divide both sides by five for the value of x and your answer is.....
x=15
When multiplying by 4, you can simply multiply it by 2 twice (prime factorization).
In this example-
4 times 8 = 32
2 times 2 times 8 = 32
Hope this helped!
