43.8 = 100%
43.8/100 = 0.438 = 1%
0.438 x 45 = 19.71 = 45%
19.71 inches of rain falls in November.
If x=-6 then y=54.
If x=-4 then y=51.
If x=-2 then y=48.
If x=0 then y=45.
If x=2 then y=42.
If x=4 then y=39.
If x=6 then y=36.
There are an infinite variety of pairs of numbers for 'x' and 'y'
that can make that equation true.
You can use that equation to draw a line on a graph. Then
EVERY point on the line is a solution to the equation.
'x' and 'y' don't have single values unless you have TWO equations.
First add the 2 numbers in the ratio:
3+2 = 5
divide the 735 by 5:
735 / 5 = 147
now multiply 147 by 3 and then by 2 and that will be the ratios:
147 * 3 = 441
147 * 2 = 294
