If you place a zero at the end of a certain natural number and subtract the result from 143, the difference is 3 times the original number. What is the number

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

graph of this function as shown below:

66.666666667%

step-by-step explanation:

divide 150 by 100

divide 100 by 1.5

there you go!

decreased by 33.333333334%
