Answer:

x = $\frac{22}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies directly with x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = - 6 when x = 2, then

- 6 = 2k ( divide both sides by 2 )

- 3 = k

y = - 3x ← equation of variation

When y = - 22, then

- 22 = - 3x ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = $\frac{-22}{-3}$ = $\frac{22}{3}$

Need help finding n forgot how to do this

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

$n = 3\sqrt{2}$

There are two best ways to solve this.

using cosine method:

$cos(n) = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

$cos(60) = \frac{adjacent}{6\sqrt{2} }$

$adjacent,n = cos(60) * 6\sqrt{2}$

$n = 3\sqrt{2}$

using sine method:

$sin(n) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

$sin(30)= \frac{n}{6\sqrt{2} }$

$n = sin(30) * 6\sqrt{2}$

$n = 3\sqrt{2}$

There are many ways, not to make it complex, these are the best ways to solve for n. Hope it helps ~
