Which answer best describes how to solve this story problem? mark bought 5 bags of red apples with 6 apples in each bag. he bought 4 bags of green apples with 5 apples in each bag. how many more red apples than green apples did mark buy?  a. multiply 5 by 6. multiply 4 by 5. subtract the two products.  b. multiply 5 by 6. multiply 4 by 5. add the two products.  c. add 6 and 5. add 5 and 4. subtract the two sums.

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
