A fruit stand has to decide what to charge for their produce. They need \$10$10dollar sign, 10 for 444 apples and 444 oranges. They also need \$12$12dollar sign, 12 for 666 apples and 666 oranges. We put this information into a system of linear equations. Can we find a unique price for an apple and an orange?

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

the answer is "add 2y and y"

step-by-step explanation:

you need to collect the like terms first.

-1/4 > -1 2/3. -1/4 is greater than -1 2/3 because it is closer to 0 on the number line.
