For the mathematics projects, a teacher divides 27 students into 2 groups. One group has more students than twice the number of students in the other group by 3. Find the number of students in both groups. Write as a equation.

8, 19

Step-by-step explanation:

let group 1 have x students and group 2 have y students

x + y = 27

but group 2 has 2x + 3 students

the sum of students from both groups is 27

x + 2x + 3 = 27

3x + 3 = 27

3x = 24

x = 8

y = 2x + 3

y = 19

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
