tyson:

ok thx

tyson:

Ellen bought gifts for her friends, and each gift cost $7. Let y represent the total cost and x represent the number of gifts. Write an equation to represent the proportional relationship between the total cost and the number of gifts she bought. (4 points) y = 7x y = one-seventh x y = 6x y = one-sixth x

tyson:

do u know

Gdeinward:

Do you have any ideas?

tyson:

no not a clue

Gdeinward:

well if y is your total, we must put it on one side of the equation by itself. so y=

Gdeinward:

It says the number of gifts and the price determine the total. Do you know how to write this?

werewolf:

y must be the number of friends, if x represents the total amount of money, you would need 7 * y,equals X

werewolf:

but you can reverse it and do it the other way
