First you would multiply 6 by 5 and you have 30 and then multiply 6 by -8v which is -48v. So now the problem is 30-48v+12 so you would add 30 and 12. 42-48v and divide 48 from 48v and divide 48 from 42. I dont have a calculator but just divide what i told you to.
A direct variation suggest that the value of x in the equation would greatly affect the value of y such that when x is increasing, y also increases and the other way around. The equation for a direct variation is that,
y = kx
Substituting the given values in the ordered pair,
5 = k(4) ; k = 5/4
