Four friends worked together to wash all of the cars that the kish family owns. they received $42.36 for doing the work and agreed to divide the earnings evenly. how much money will each friend earn? show how you know.

10.59

Step-by-step explanation:

divide the total earning by the amount of friends there is

u what ?

step-by-step explanation:

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
