Answer:
So just as a fraction of 3/30 can be simplified to 1/10, a ratio of 3:30 (or 4:40, 5:50, 6:60 and so on) can be simplified to 1:10.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
A direct variation equation has the following format:

Where k is a constant.
We know that y is 12 when x is -2. Thus, substitute:

Divide both sides by -2:

So, our direct variation equations is:

To find what x is when y equals -6, substitute in -6 for y:

Divide both sides by -6:

So, our answer is 1 :)
All others did not satisfy the inequality simultaneously except #4 and #6
For #4:
2 < 5(1) + 2 i.e. 2 < 7 (true)
2 >= 1/2(1) + 1 i.e. 2 >= 3/2 (true)
For #6
2 < 5(2) + 2 i.e. 2 < 12 (true)
2 >= 1/2(2) + 1 i.e. 2 >= 2
7x+2y=-17
steps:
x=2x + 5x
y=3y - y
sum=-5 -12
