Ryan's dog weighs 50 pounds, and Mark's dog weighs p pounds. Which expression shows their combined weight? A. 50 × p B. 50 + p C. 50 ÷ p D. 50 - p

B, 50 + p.

Step-by-step explanation:

To combine their weight, you would add them together. B is the only answer that uses addition.

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 c. 23/3
