Okay, Samuel, let's adjust the problem with your new value for XX.

  1. Set up the equations with the given conditions.

    We assume the relationship is Y=C+kXY = C + kX, where CC is the constant part and kk is the constant of variation.
    Using the first condition: When X=3X=3, Y=7Y=7.

    7=C+k(3)  ⟹  C+3k=7(1)7 = C + k(3) \implies C + 3k = 7 \quad (1)

    Using your new second condition: When X=4X=4, Y=11Y=11.

    11=C+k(4)  ⟹  C+4k=11(2)11 = C + k(4) \implies C + 4k = 11 \quad (2)
  2. Solve the system of linear equations for CC and kk.

    Subtract equation (1) from equation (2):

    (C+4k)−(C+3k)=11−7(C + 4k) - (C + 3k) = 11 - 7 C+4k−C−3k=4C + 4k - C - 3k = 4 k=4k = 4
  3. Substitute the value of kk back into one of the original equations to find CC.

    Using equation (1):

    C+3(4)=7C + 3(4) = 7 C+12=7C + 12 = 7 C=7−12C = 7 - 12 C=−5C = -5
  4. State the constant of variation.

    The constant of variation is kk.

    k=4k = 4

    The constant of variation is ∗4∗*4*.
