Can you elaborate please? What does p and m mean?

Answer:

[tex]x=8((m*p)/y)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You have that x varies directly with p*m (which means that if the result of m*p increase, x increase)

And you have too that x is inversely with y (which means that if y increase, x decrease).

Then you must get:

[tex]x=constant value((m*p)/y)[/tex]

If the problem says that x is 2, y is 4, p is 0.5, and m is 2

the constant value should be 8, in this way:

[tex]x=8((m*p)/y)[/tex]

If you replace:

[tex]x=8((2*0,5)/4)[/tex]

The result is x=2
