Tammy is selling cookies for a fundraiser. She promised to sell 120 boxes by the end of the month. If she has sold 23 of her boxes so far, how many boxes has she sold?

120 - 23 = 97

Step-by-step explanation:

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
