Answer:

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+5=3x+4

subtract 3x from both sides of the equation

4x+5=3x+4

-3x -3x

x+5=4

subtract 5 from both sides of the equation

x+5=4

-5 -5

x=-1

A direct variation function contains the points (2,14) and (4,38) which equation represents the function

Dmitry [639]

You are given two points on a line, and told that the function is "direct variation." You can save a lot of time by recognizing that the y-intercept here is zero (0). Thus, the line passes through the origin.

A line through (2,14) and (4,38) is NOT direct variation, because the line connecting those two points does NOT pass through the origin, and thus has a vertical intercept.

Yves bought 420 tropical fish for a museum display. He bought 6 times as many parrotfish as angelfish. How many of each type of

ohaa [14]

The answer would be d , because you have to add how many of each fish to equal up to the sum of 420 . which is x y . so the first equation is x + y = 420 . then it says he bought 6 times as many parrotfish as he did angelfish so you would have to multiply x which represents angelfish by 6 . to get the second equation of y = 6x .
