<h3>The number of beads lina has is 31</h3><h3>
Laura made a mistake by adding the constant 7 and variable 4b</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Laura wrote and solved the following expression to find the total number of beads Lina has
There are 6 beads in each packet
7+4b = 11b
= 11(6)
=66
From given,
Lina has a total of 7 + 4b beads
Given that, There are 6 beads in each packet
Substitute b = 6
7 + 4(6)
Simplify
7 + 24
Add
31
Thus, she has a total of 31 beads and not 66 beads
Laura made a mistake by adding the constant 7 and variable 4b
But a constant and variable cannot be added
Given, y varies directly as x
So,

Where c is a constant
When y equals 5 when x is 8
So,

So, the relation between y and x

now , when x = 9
Substitute with x to find y

So, the answer is option 2. y = 45/8
