Direct variation is written in the form y = k * x or x = y * k. And, inverse variation is written in the form y = k/x or x = y/k.
For the first problem, if we isolated the y, we would get:
4y = 3x - 1
y = (3/4)x - 1/4
This is written as y = mx + b, which isn’t the form of direct or inverse variation, so the answer is NEITHER.
For the second equation, we could divide by 2 on both sides to isolate x and see if it is in the correct form:
x = 4/y
This is inverse form, so the second question is INVERSE with a constant of variation as 4.
The inequality that represents this phrase is n+6 > 31.
A suitable probability calculator will tell you that probabilty is about 25.9%.

The normalcdf function on this calculator gives an area between a lower and upper limit. If the upper limit is more than about 8 standard deviations above the mean, the 10th decimal place is unaffected. Since the standard deviation here is about 5, we need to have an upper limit that is about 40 above the mean of about 30. We have chosen 80 as a nice round number and to give a little more margin.
The answer is going to be around 7 countries
