Question

9. If y = 30 when x = 7, find x when y = 12.​

Answer 1

I have my work at the bottom but to explain you have to divide 30/12, and I got 2.5. That means 30 is 2.5 times bigger than 12. Because we have to find x, we have to divide 7/2.5, to find what is 2.5 times smaller than 7. That’s 2.8. So, x= 2.8
