Willie stands on one side of a cart and pushes with a force of 100 Newtons. Jenny stands on the others side of a filing cabinet and pushes with a force of 100 Newtons. If Willie wants to help Jenny demonstrate balanced forces, what does Willie need to do?

Willie just needs to keep pushing the cart with same force.

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:

d is the correct answer

step-by-step explanation:

x= 8 because 3x = 3 * 8, and 3*8 = 24
