Question

If x varies directly with y and x = 3.5 when y = 14, find x when y = 18.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

there's definitely other ways to solve this, but I used a proportion.

$\frac{3.5}{x} = \frac{14}{18}$

Then you can make this equation:

14x = 3.5 * 18

I solved for it and got 4.5 .
