7*8-6+5=55
6*5+7+8=45
5*7+8+6=49
I will continue in the comments
It would be: 1500 - 1500*20/100 = 1500-300 = 1200
Answer: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the absolute minimum we must first take the derivative of the function and find where it equals zero. From there we can use the first derivative test to find where our possible minimum is. We then will test each endpoint and compare for the minimum for this function.

The lowest value is 7. The absolute minimum of this function is 7. If you were to graph it, we'd see that the graph reflects that as well.
Hi Desperate!
anyways the equation for constant variation is y=kx
3y=6x is it, but we don't want the 3.
so we divide on both sides to cancel out the 3.
y=2x
