Answer:
Using the equation y = abx , substitute both of your given points into that equation.
2 = ab2 and 4 = ab3 Solve each equation for a.
2⁄b2 and 4⁄b3 = a Therefore, 2⁄b2 = 4⁄b3
Cross multiply: 2b3 = 4b2 Divide both sides by b2
2b = 4 a = 2/4 = 1/2
b = 2
y = 1 (2)x
2
Step-by-step explanation:
One input can map out multiple outputs
2x+4y=12
y=x-3
Since we know what y equals, we can plug this into the first equation:
2x+4(x-3)=12
We can then distribute:
2x+4x-12=12
And solve for x:
6x-12=12
6x=24
x=4
We can then plug x into the second equation and find y:
y=x-3
y=4-3
y=1
Therefore x=4 and y=1
Create an inequality
x/60 = 30/100
x = 200
CHECK ANSWER: 200 x .30 = 60
