Direct variation is written in the form y = k * x or x = y * k. And, inverse variation is written in the form y = k/x or x = y/k.
For the first problem, if we isolated the y, we would get:
4y = 3x - 1
y = (3/4)x - 1/4
This is written as y = mx + b, which isn’t the form of direct or inverse variation, so the answer is NEITHER.
For the second equation, we could divide by 2 on both sides to isolate x and see if it is in the correct form:
x = 4/y
This is inverse form, so the second question is INVERSE with a constant of variation as 4.
<span>1/2(7x-8)+2x =2-(10x+4)
Distribute
(7x-8)/2 + 2x = 2 -10x -4
combine like terms
(7x - 8)/2 + 2x = -10x - 2
Multiply both sides by 2
7x - 8 + 4x = -20x -4
Combine like terms
11x - 8 = -20x - 4
add 8 to both sides
11x = -20x + 4
add 20x to both sides
11x + 20x = 4
combine like terms
31x = 4
divide both sides by 31
x = 4/31 or </span><span>0.129.
