Write the correct equation. Direct variation problems are solved using the equation y = kx. When dealing with word problems, you should consider using variables other than x and y, you should use variables that are relevant to the problem being solved. Also read the problem carefully to determine if there are any other changes in the direct variation equation, such as squares, cubes, or square roots.
Size 40 is the cheapest, because the formula to find lowest price of unit is dividing the price by the unit. so 5.49/24≈ 0.23, 8.00/40=0.2, 15.99/64≈ 0.25
X = [-(-8) +/- sqrt((-8)^2 -4*41)] / 2
x = ( 8 + sqrt (-100) / 2 and (8 - sqrt(-100) / 2
