There are 48 cards in a pack and each card is either red or black

Ratio for red to black is 1:1
8 Red cards have been removed

Find the ratio or red to black cards in the pack now
Simplest form

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:

5x+2x=49

7x=49

x=7. 35 apples

may i see the picture? it would a lot, xox
