80 people attended a meeting. There was x men and x women and the rest were children. How many children attended the meeting

80 - 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total number of people = 80 people

Total men = x men

Total women = x women

Let the number of childeren be c

x + x + c = 80

Make c the subject of the formula

c = 80 - (x+x)

c = 80 - 2x

Hence the total children attending is 80 - 2x

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3
