48 gallons... since the first shower head gives 9 gallons per minute you multiply 9 by 8 then you use the equation and multiply 3 by 8 then you subtract the two shower heads
If she puts 0 in the box she would have a direct variation.
Lydia writes the equation y = 5x - __ with a missing value.
She puts a value in the box and says that the equation represents a direct variation.
We have to choose the correct option from the given options that explain that the equation could represent a direct variation.
When two variables are such that one is a constant multiple of the other, we said they are in Direct variation.
<h3>What is the
direct variation?</h3>
In form of y = ax, where y and x are in direct variation.
Consider the given equation y = 5x - __
For the equation to be in direct variation the value of the missing term has to be 0.
then the equation becomes,
y = 5x
Thus, If she puts 0 in the box she would have a direct variation.
Option (a) is correct.
