If y is directly proportional to x and y = 108 when x=9, what is the value of y when x =8 and x=7

1 answer:

7 0

Y ∝x
y= kx
substitute x and y values
108= k x 9
because you want to find k on its own you divide both sides by 9
108 ÷ 9 = 12
So k = 9
Now that we have 12 we can use this to find y
y = 12 x 8
You just simply times it because that's what y is
so y= 96 when x=8
To find y when x= 7 you do 7 x 12 which is 84
So y= 84 when x= 7

Whats 3.2r + 14.7=6.74

Nata [24]

r=-199/80 is the right answer. First, you had to multiply by 100 from both sides of the equation. And it gave us, $3.2r*100+14.7*100=6.74*100$ . Next, you had to refine, and it gave us, $320r+1470=674$ . Then, subtract by 1470 from both sides of equation. And it gave us, $320r+1470-1470=674-1470$ . Simplify, and it gave us, $320r=-796$ . You can also divide by 320 from both sides of equation. And it gave us, $\frac{320r}{320}=\frac{-796}{320}$ . And finally, simplify, and it gave us the answer is r=-199/80 is the right answer.
