Michael and ashley each buy x pounds of turkey and y pounds of ham. turkey cost $3 per pound at store a and $4.50 per pound at store b. ham cost $4 per pound at store a and $6 per pound at store b. micheal spends $18 at store a, and ashley spends $27 at store b could micheal and ashley bought the same amount of turkey? explain.

yes.

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
