The value of y varies directly with x. If x = 218, then y = 436. What is
adell [148]

Answer:

<h2>x = 7</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of the value of x when

y = 14 we must first find the relationship between them

The statement

The value of y varies directly with x is written as

y \:  \:  \:  \alpha  \:  \:  \: kx

where k is the constant of proportionality

when x = 218

y = 436

So we have

436 = 218k

Divide both sides by 218

k = 2

So the formula for the variation is

<h2>y = 2x</h2>

when y = 14

We have

14 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

<h3>x = 7</h3>

Hope this helps you.

Suppose that the perimeter a rectangle is 54 feet, and the length is 13 feet more than the width. Find the width ractangle, in f
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:7feet

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter(p)=54ft

Width(w) +13=Length(L)

Perimeter=2xLength+2xwidth

P=2xL+2xw

L=w+13

54=2(w+13)+2w

54=2w+26+2w

Collect like terms

54-26=2w+2w

28=4w

Divide both sides by 4

28/4=4w/4

7=w

Width =7feet
