As y varies directly with x, there is a proportionality constant. As x increases by that certain constant, y also increases. We equate:
y = kx
where k = proportionality constant.
Given the condition, y = 5 when x = 4, then we solve for k:
5 = k(4)
k = 5/4 or 1.25
When y = 8, then
8 = (5/4)(x)
x = 8/(5/4) = (8)(4/5) = 32/5 or 6.4 (ANSWER)
Answer:
Reflexive
Step-by-step explanation:
When a=a, it is called the reflexive property
a=b then b=a is the symmetric property
a=b b=c then a=c is the transitive property
1. First, let us define the width of the rectangle as w and the length as l.
2. Now, given that the length of the rectangle is 6 in. more than the width, we can write this out as:
l = w + 6
3. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2w + 2l. We know that the perimeter of the rectangle in the problem is 24 in. so we can rewrite this as:
24 = 2w + 2l
4. Given that we know that l = w + 6, we can substitute this into the formula for the perimeter above so that we will have only one variable to solve for. Thus:
24 = 2w + 2l
if l = w + 6, then: 24 = 2w + 2(w + 6)
24 = 2w + 2w + 12 (Expand 2(w + 6) )
24 = 4w + 12
12 = 4w (Subtract 12 from each side)
w = 12/4 (Divide each side by 4)
w = 3 in.
5. Now that we know that the width is 3 in., we can substitute this into our formula for length that we found in 2. :
l = w + 6
l = 3 + 6
l = 9 in.
6. Therefor the rectangle has a width of 3 in. and a length of 9 in.
