Y and x have a proportional relationship, and y = 12 when x = 8.

OleMash [197]

Answer: x is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

For directly proportional relationship, both variables change in the same direction. It means that an increase in one variable will result to an increase in the other variable. A decrease in one variable will result to a decrease in the other variable.

y and x have a proportional relationship,

We will introduce a proportionality constant and replace the proportionality symbol with an equal to symbol. Thus

y = kx

When y is 12, x is 8

Substituting into the equation,

12 = k × 8

k = 12/8 = 1.5

The equation becomes

y = 1.5x

The value of x when y is 18 will be

18 = 1.5x

x = 18/1.5 = 12

What is the area of a parallelogram if its length is x+4 and its height is x+3

lord [1]

Area of a parallelogram is:

$\sf A=bh$

Where 'b' is the base and 'h' is the height. Plug in what we know:

$\sf A=(x+4)(x+3)$

Distribute(multiply everything in the first parenthesis to everything in the second parenthesis):

$\sf x\times x=x^2$
$\sf x\times 3=3x$
$\sf 4\times x=4x$
$\sf 4\times 3=12$

So we have:

$\sf A=x^2+3x+4x+12$

Combine like terms(3x + 4x = 7x):

$\sf A=\boxed{\sf x^2+7x+12}$
