Answer: y = 3/4x
Step-by-step explanation:
Each y-value output is 3/4 of the x-value inputted.
8 x 0.75 = 6
12 x 0.75 = 9
Since the signs are different, you have to subtract. 2
He used factoring to break it apart
Okay Let's say
2x + 3 = 45
-3 -3
----------------
2x = 42
--- ---
2 2 x = 21
When you have ratios, and some unknowns, you can create complex fractions from them. Bring them to the same denominator, and solve for x.
Example - we have this proportion:
2-x
5-45
And we can change it into fraction:
\frac{2}{5}=\frac{x}{45}
\frac{2*9}{5*9}=\frac{x}{45}
\frac{18}{45}=\frac{x}{45}
18=x
In case of more complex fractions it may come in handy.
