<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
1- The constant of variation is 
2- The constant of variation is 
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
When two variables are in direct variation, this means that when one of them increases, the other increases and vice versa
<u>A direct variation relation is represented as follows:</u>
y = kx
where k is the constant of variation
Now, to get the constant of variation, all we have to do is substitute with the given x and y variables and solve for k
<u>For the given problems:</u>
<u>1-
</u>
<u>Therefore:</u>

<u>2-
</u>
<u>Therefore:</u>

Hope this helps :)

Add all the numbers up but pay attention you are counting 6.30 twice. then you divide by the numbers of days you have.(5)
<span>Your answer should be 5.47</span>
<span>6 pounds of strawberries for x pounds and 4 pounds of apples for y pounds. = $18.90.
6x + 4y = 18.90
Then, you add 3 more pounds of each fruit which equals $10.17.
3x + 3y = 10.17
Then you multiply by -2 which is (-6x) - 6y = -20.34. After that, you add that (read carefully) you would do this. (-6x) + 6x - 6y + 4y = -20.34 + 28.90.
-2y = -1.44 divided by -2.
Y = -1.44/-2
Y = $0.72 per pound of apples.</span><span>Now, plus in the value of Y in equation 2.
3x + 3y = 10.17
3x + 3 * 0.72 = 10.17.
3x + 2.16 = 10.17
-2.16
3x = 10.17 - 2.16
3x = 8.06 /3
Int total, X = $2.68 per pound of strawberry. Hope this helps just read it carefully. </span>
