Tammy accidentally wrote a check for more money than she had in her checking account. When she got her statement, she saw that her balance was -$72. If she deposits 1/3 of the money owed into her account, what will be her new balance?

-48

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to divide -72 by 3 to see how much she is depositing 72/3 = 24

then you take 24 from 72 and you get 48

she still owes $48

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

answer: 2530
