Answer:
k = 4, y = 4x
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we get the ratio of :
x : y = 1 : 4
Two variables are proportional to each other if their ration is constant. The constant value is denoted by 'k' and is called as constant of proportionality.
In the question, the two variables are :
x = glasses of lemonade
y = lemons used
From the question, the ratio of y is to x is given by :
y : x is 24 : 6 = 4 : 1 or 24/6 = 4
32 : 8 = 4 : 1 or 32/8 = 4
28 : 7 = 4 : 1 or 28/7 = 4
8 : 2 = 4 : 1 or 8/2 = 4
16 : 4 = 4 : 1 or 16/4 = 4
So here the constant is 4 . Therefore, the constant of proportionality, k is 4.
So we can write the equation as :
y = kx
or y = 4x
Treat the matrices on the right side of each equation like you would a constant.
Let 2<em>X</em> + <em>Y</em> = <em>A</em> and 3<em>X</em> - 4<em>Y</em> = <em>B</em>.
Then you can eliminate <em>Y</em> by taking the sum
4<em>A</em> + <em>B</em> = 4 (2<em>X</em> + <em>Y</em>) + (3<em>X</em> - 4<em>Y</em>) = 11<em>X</em>
==> <em>X</em> = (4<em>A</em> + <em>B</em>)/11
Similarly, you can eliminate <em>X</em> by using
-3<em>A</em> + 2<em>B</em> = -3 (2<em>X</em> + <em>Y</em>) + 2 (3<em>X</em> - 4<em>Y</em>) = -11<em>Y</em>
==> <em>Y</em> = (3<em>A</em> - 2<em>B</em>)/11
It follows that

Similarly, you would find

You can solve the second system in the same fashion. You would end up with

You use a compass to draw angles and straightedge to draw the shapes.
