Two numbers add up to 82. Thrice the first subtracted from the second is 2. Find the numbers

answer: 10 turtles

step-by-step explanation: as turtles have four legs so 4.10=40 therefore birds are 4 which sue counted

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x

54/3 is 18 so 18 is your answer
