A - 3b = 4
a = b -2
(b - 2) - 3b = 4
b - 2 - 3b = 4
-2b = 4 + 2
-2b = 6
b = 6/-2
b = -3
a = b - 2
a = -3 -2
a = -5
to check: a = -5 ; b = -3 ⇒ (-5,-3)
a - 3b = 4
-5 - 3(-3) = 4
-5 + 9 = 4
4 = 4
You solve it just like you would with an equation.
Answer:
m=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use the formula for rate of change (slope).
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Pick any pair of x and y values.
(10-12)/(2-1)
Simplify.
m=-2
HTH :)
Divide 22,500 by 30,000 and multiply by 100 as follows:
Since p varies directly with l,
p = kl (1)
Also, since w varies directly with l,
w = ml
or, l = w/m
Substitute in (1), we get,
p = k (w/m)
= (k/m) w
So, the price varies directly with weight.
