Answer: 288.17

Step-by-step explanation:

y ∝ x

⇒ y = kx

substituting the given value of x and y , the equation becomes

12 = 14 k

therefore

k = 12/14

k = 6/7

The formula then becomes

y = 6/7 x

when y = 247, we have

247 = 6/7 x

6x = 247 x 7

6x = 1729

x = 1729/6

x = 288. 17

Step 1:

$\frac{8}{0.3} =\frac{12}{x}$

4x + 5y = 3<br>kx + 15y = 9 find k<br>

9966 [12]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 5y = 3 ................ (i)

kx + 15y = 9................(ii)

Dividing eqn (ii) by 3, we get,

k/3 x + 5y = 3.............(iii)

Subtracting eqn (iii) by eqn (i), we get,

-4x - k/3 x = 0

or, -(4 - k/3 )x = 0

or, 4 - k/3 = 0/x

or, 4 - k/3 = 0

or, 4 = k/3

or, k = 4*3

:. k = 12 (Ans)
