If y varies directly with x, that means they change at proportion rates. We can define their relationship using a constant k.
y = kx
Plug in what we know to find k.
-3 = 5k
k = -3/5
So:
y = -1 * (-3/5)
y = 3/5
Answer:
Assume that the number is 100. Then, 20% of 100 is 20×100100 = 20. Increasing 100 by 20% means increasing 100 by 20 and the resultant number is 120.
16 added to the product of 1/2 times 8, and then subtracted by 6.
16+4-6=20-6=14
A. There are many solutions because there are many values for the variables that make the equation true.
