Answer:

x=-\frac{88}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

When a quantity "A" varies DIRECTLY with another quantity "B", we can write the proportionality equation as:

A = kB

Where k is the proportionality constant (to be found)

In this problem, it is given x varies DIRECTLY with y, so we can write:

x = ky

Also, given, x = 11, y = -3, so we plug these into the equation and first find k:

x = ky

11 = k(-3)

k = -11/3

Now, we need to find x when y = 8, so we substitute and find x:

x=ky\\x=(-\frac{11}{3})(8)\\x=-\frac{88}{3}

False.

Here is a counterexample.

3/4= 0.75

3 and 4 are both integers but the quotient is 0.75 which is not an integer. 0.75 is a rational number.
