The equation for the direct variation is y= kx (where k is contant of variation.)
This equation represent that if x will increase then y will also increase because it's k times x.
Where the equation for indirect variation is
By this equation if x will increase then y will decrease and vice versa.
The given data is :
x: 2 4 8 12
y: 4 2 1 2/3
Notice as x is increasing then y is decreasing. Like x has increased from 2 to 4 then y is decresing from 4 to 2 and so on.
So, the given data represent an indirect variation.
Hi there!
The Eqn. is :-
1.5 (x + 4) - 3 = 4.5 (x - 2)
1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9
Combining the like terms :-
1.5x - 4.5x = - 9 - 6 + 3
- 3x = - 15 + 3
- 3x = - 12
x =
x = 4
Hence, the required answer is → x = 4
~ Hope it helps!
