The value of y when x = 5 is 45
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>Given that y varies directly with x. This can be written mathematically as:
y ∝ x
---- eqn 1
Where "k" is the constant of propotionality
Given y = 27 when x = 3. Substitute these values in eqn 1
Substitute k = 9 in eqn 1
y = 9x ----- eqn 2
<u><em>To find: y = ? and x = 5</em></u>
Substitute x = 5 in eqn 2
Thus the value of y when x = 5 is 45
Factorize the numerator and denominator. You'll see that they both have a factor of 4 that can be canceled. The introduce a factor of 3 to change the denominator to 36.
