If x varies directly with y and y is 10 when x is 8, what is x when y is 18?

Knowing that x varies directly with y, we know the basic skeleton of the equation is y = mx. 

To find m, plug in the known coordinate (8,10), where the x-coordinate is 8 and the y-coordinate is 10.
y=mx \\ 10=m8 \\ (10)/8=(8m)/8 \\ m= \frac{10}{8} = \frac{5}{4}

Then, plug in m to the equation to get y = (5/4)x.

Finally, plug in the y-coordinate 18 to the equation and solve for x!
y= \frac{5}{4}x \\ 18= \frac{5}{4}x \\  \frac{4}{5}(18)=( \frac{5}{4}x) \frac{4}{5} \\ x= \frac{4*18}{5}  \\  x= \frac{72}{5}

Your exact answer is x = 72/5. However, if your teacher prefers decimals, then x = 14.4

Hope this helps!

y varies directly with x
y=kx
10=k(15)
k=10/15
y=(10/15)x
when x=6
y=(10/15)(6)=60/15=4 
 x varies inversely as y
x=k/y
2=k/8
k=16
x=16/y
when y=17

Monomial is one term, like #2 would be a monomial. binomial is two terms, like 3x - 2. trinomial is three terms, like #1,3,4. polynomial is four terms, like #5. standard form is just rewriting the equation in order from the term with the highest exponent to the lowest
