6 less than the product of a number and 3 is -18..what is the number?

1 answer:

4 0

The product of a number and 3 can be represented as 3n (where n = unknown number). Then 6 less than 3n is 3n - 6.

3n - 6 = -18
3n = -12
n = -4

Check:
-4 x 3 = -12
-12 - 6 = -18 (this works!)

Two quantities, x and y, are directly proportional. If x is doubled, what happens to y?

Answer:

y is also doubled.

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct proportionality between $x$ and $y$ means that

$y \propto x$

$y=cx$ ,

which indicates a linear relationship between $x$ and $y$ because they are related by a constant.

Therefore, if x is doubled, then the new value of $y$ is $y_{new}$

$y_{new}=c(2x)$

$y_{new}=2(cx)$

$y_{new}=2y$

The new value of $y$ is 2 times the previous; therefore, $y$ is doubled as $x$ is doubled.
