artie multiplies a number by 4 and then adds 3. alice first add 3 to the same number and then multiplies it by 4. alice's answer is ___ more than Artie's number.

Alice's answer is 15 more than Artie's number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number initially is x.

Artie's number:

Multiplies by 4, so 4x.

Subtracts 3, so 4x - 3.

Alice's number:

Adds 3, so x + 3.

Multiplies by 4, so 4(x + 3) = 4x + 12

Alice's number is how much more than Artie's?

We subtract Alice's number by Artie's number.

4x + 12 - (4x - 3) = 4x + 12 - 4x + 3 = 15

Alice's answer is 15 more than Artie's number.

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.
