Ithought of a number, multiplied it by 2 1/2 , divided the result by 1 1/5 , subtracted 7/18 from it, and got 1 5/6 . what was my number?

the equation is not included but the answer is (1.50, 2.00, 2.75)

step-by-step explanation:

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x

answer: c

substitute in the values.

for a:

f(0) = 0 + 9

f(0) = 9

a is a solution.

for b:

f(7) = 14 + 9

f(7) = 23

b is a solution.

for c:

f (3) = 6 + 9

f(3) = 15

c is not a solution. it's supposed to be 14.

for d:

f(2) = 4 + 9

f(2)= 13

d is a solution.
