Answer:
$ 12.09
Step-by-step explanation:
formula Y = KX
Where; y = $ 24.18
x = 2 books
k = constant of proportionality
Step 1. Do the equation based on the formula
Y = kx
$24.18 = k2
Step 2. Divide by 2
$24.18/2 = k2/2
k = $12.09 (answer)
I believe that X would be -2.47619.
First you distribute the -1 in front of the parenthesis. Then distribute the 8 outside of the bracts. And finally just solve for X by combing like terms.
First, we are going to want to plug in the values we are given. In this case, we will end up with the equation:

From here, we can solve the equation to find
:

- Apply the commutative property to rearrange the terms on the right-side of the equation to make the distributive property more apparent

- Apply the distributive property

- Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation

- Divide both sides of the equation by -2
We have found that c = 1.
