In the first table, y = 4x. So y is proportional to x.
In the second table, y is not proportional to x.
In the third table, 2y = 3x. So, y is proportional to x.
X = pencils, y = pens
8x + 6y = 8.50
4x + 4y = 5.....multiply by -2
----------------
8x + 6y = 8.50
-8x - 8y = -10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-----------------add
-2y = - 1.50
y = -1.50 / -2
y = 0.75 <=== pens cost 0.75
4x + 4y = 5
4x + 4(0.75) = 5
4x + 3 = 5
4x = 5 - 3
4x = 2
x = 2/4
x = 0.50 <== pencils cost 0.50

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<h2>3 weeks</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given data
expected amount =$200
cash already at hand=$80
savings per week=$40
let the number of weeks be x
Step two:
the linear function for the situation is the same as the equation of a straight line
y=mx+c------1
200=4x+80
solve for x
200-80=40x
120=40x
divide both sides by 4
x=120/40
x= 3 weeks
<u>Chandler will save for 3 weeks</u>
