Answer:
y = -2x
Step-by-step explanation:
For direct variation:  y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.
Given that Y equals -12 when x equals 6, we have -12 = k(6).  Solve this for k by dividing both sides by 6:
k = -12/6 => k = -2
Then the "direct variation equation" here is y = -2x.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Number of coupons sent  to Existing members = 33
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of coupons sent out = 231
Let :
6 times as many to potential members = 6 * X = 6X
while existing members = X
therefore 6X + X = 231
                  7X = 231 
therefore  X = 231 / 7 = 33
 so existing members = 33
while potential members = 6 * 33 = 198
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
(X^2+8x)-(x-8)=0
x(x+8)-1(x+8)=0
(X-1)(x+8)=0
X= 1 
X= -8
