This is not right 1 is greater than 0
Answer: 1) B is correct, constant of variation is -2.
Step-by-step explanation:
1)
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

I had x before the movie.
x - 13.50 = 26.50
Add 13.50 to both sides of the equation:
x = 40
I had $40 before the movie.
16.
The original balance was x.
x - 161.15 = 423.28
Add 161.15 to both sides:
x = 584.43
The previous balance was $584.43
