Direct proportion equations have the following form:

y=kx

Where "k" is the Constant of proportionality.

In this case you know that "y" is directly proportional to "x" and when:

x=4;y=-2

Having these values, you can substitute them into the equation and solve for "k":

\begin{gathered} -2=k(4) \\ \frac{-2}{4}=k \\ k=-\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}

So, substituting the value of "k" into the first equation shown above, you get that the equation that models the given relationship is:

y=-\frac{1}{2}x

Now, to find the value of "x", when the value of "y" is -24, you must substitute this value into the equation that models the relationship and then solve for "x". Then, you get:

\begin{gathered} -24=-\frac{1}{2}x \\ (-24)(-2)=x \\ x=48 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answers are:

\begin{gathered} y=-\frac{1}{2}x \\  \\ x=48 \end{gathered}

NISA [10]
2.2x and 4.4 have a GCF of 2.2.  So, you can factor that out like so:
2.2x+4.4 = 2.2*x+2.2*2 = 2.2(x+2)

Hope this helps!

If p(x) = 2x2 – 4x and q(x) = x – 3, what is mc007-1.jpg? 2x2 – 4x + 12 2x2 – 16x + 18 2x2 – 16x + 30 2x2 – 16x + 15
Rainbow [258]
P(x) = 2x² - 4xq(x) = x - 3
To find the answer, we plug q(x) into p(x):
p(q(x)) = 2(x - 3)² - 4(x - 3)p(q(x)) = 2(x² - 6x + 9) - 4x + 12p(q(x)) = 2x² - 12x + 18 - 4x + 12p(q(x)) = 2x² - 16x + 30
The third option is correct.
