The value of y varies directly with x, and y=3 when x=9 find y when x = 21

Mathematics

Answer: y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1) plug in 3 for y and 9 for x in the direct variation formula, which is y = kx

3 = k(9)

Step 2) Solve for k

3 = k(9) (Divide by 9 on both sides)

3/9 = k (Now simplify 3/9)

1/3 = k. So k = 1/3

*just FYI: “k” is the constant of variation.

Step 3) use the equation y = kx and plug in 1/3 for k

y = 1/3x

Step 4) using the equation y = 1/3x, plug in 21 for x.

y = 1/3(21) (1/3*21 is the same as 21/3)

y = 21/3 (21/3 = 7)

y = 7. So that’s you’re answer! When x=21, y=7 because 7 is 1/3 of 21!

Hope this helps! My best wishes to you as you go through school!

The length of the rectangle is three more than the width find the length of the rectangle if the perimeter is 98 inches
Aleks [24]

Answer:

length is 26 and width is 23

Step-by-step explanation:

let width be x

then length is 3+x since it is 3 more than the width

perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

98=2 [3+x] + 2x

98=6+2x+2x

98=6+4x

98-6=4x

92=4x

x=23

width is 23 and

breadth is 26
