The answer is B
Because if you use your calculation right you would end up with 16,463
Ok so direct variation is y=xk
invers is y=k/x
it seems to be that x is on top
therefor
y=x times 1/3
y=xk
direct variation
Hi!
Let's just take this part by part.
The sum of seven is the first part written. You can deduce from that, that it's 7 + something.
The next part is the quotient of a number x and 8. A quotient is the result of something being divided, so we can figure out that it's x / 8.
Putting it all together, you get the expression as 7 + x / 8.
Hope this helped!
