Answer:

(x + y = 24 where x < y) (Ex. 3 + 21 = 24)

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, you can use various combinations of numbers to fulfill the requirements in the question. As long as you don't do 12 + 12, and your sum is 24, any answer will be correct. Just follow:

x + y = 24 where x < y or y < x

For the equation --4y = 8x, what is the constant of variation?

larisa86 [58]

Answer: 1) B is correct, constant of variation is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct variation states that a relationship between the two variables. we say y varies directly as x

i.e, or y =kx.................[1] ; where k is the constant of variation.

Given the equation:

Divide both sides by -4 we get;

Simplify:

.......[2]

On comparing equation [2] with [1] we get;

k = -2
