Ineed to solve for x and y using linear pairs

you'll just earn points here

step-by-step explanation:

if you are looking for the unit rate then the answer would be 9 because unit rate is distance divided by time.

step-by-step explanation:

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x
