Just choose x = 0,1,2,3 and find y for each x, for each of the tables.
Step one: correspond x values and y values together
it would be: 3, 12 and 4, 16
Step two: divide
12/3 = 4 and 16/4 = 4
both numbers = 4
scale factor is 4
In order to determine the number of boys in the class, first, we set-up an algebraic equation. Let x = number of boys in the class. The equation is then: x + 4x = 45. This is because the number of girls is 4 times greater than the number of boys. After solving the algebraic equation, it is then determined that there are 9 boys in the Chemistry class.
First getting x as a numerator rather than a denominator. Then grouping like terms by moving 5 from the left side to the right. Work below:
