If y varies directly as x, and y is 48 when x is 6, which expression can be used to find the value of y when x is 2?
1 answer:
The expression will be y =8*2 or y = (48/6)*2
Step-by-step explanation:
The direct proportion is given if y varied directly as x
y∝x
When the proprtionality symbol is removed, a proportionality constant is introduced.
y = kx
as we know y = 48 when x = 6
The equation will be:
y = 8x
So when x=2
y = 8*2
y = 16
Hence,
The expression will be y =8*2 or y = (48/6)*2

In order to add these fractions we have to make a common denominator.
1/5 can turn into 2/10 Its the same thing. And its easier to solve with.
now lets multiply.
×
Now we add across
2 + 1 = 3
------------
10 + 10 = 10 ( When adding fractions like these the denominator stays the same)
So your answer is...
Good Luck! :)
