The cost of purchasing gasoline varies directly with the number of gallons purchased. Kali paid $52.90 for 23 gallons of gas. What is the direct variation equation that relates y, the cost of a gasoline purchase, to x the number of gallons?

38+105= 143, 39+104=143, and you will find then adding the numbers on opposite sides, moving inwards yields the answer 138 every time. because of this, you’re going to multiply 138 times the number of pairs, which is 34. therefore, 34*138= 4692(i’m sorry if it’s the wrong numbers, but it’s the right concept)
