Weeee!
Variations.
New lesson.

Time to rescue Ms. A!
A = K + H
K = A - 3
In this case, simple.

If we were to transpose...
A = K + H
A - K = H

So, doing that in the second equation...
K = A - 3
0 = A - K - 3
3 = A - K

So, if A - K = H, therefore, H = 3
Ok, that was NOT variation.
That was GEMDAS and linear functions I think.

If it were variation, direct variation, mind you, that would be:
A varies directly as H
K, being the known term for the constant of the variation, would make the equation:
A = (K)H

So there you go.
I think I made this more confusing...
MRS. BAGUE, PA-EXPLAIN!!! haha!
But of course, variables ARE variables.
They are meant to SUBSTITUTE; Hence, they have their own DIFFERENT values.

Hope I pass the quiz tomorrow!
Or else...Math will be destroyed foreeeeeeeevah!

variation, math, quizzes
