it could be 2.2 because every 5 you get 2 so it would be 10 and 4 so when y=6 then x should be 2.2.

Answer:

y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y is directly proportional to x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of proportionality.

To find k use the condition y = 5 when x = 2

k = $\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{5}{2}$ = 2.5, thus

y = 2.5x ← equation of proportionality

When x = 6, then

y = 2.5 × 6 = 15

The variable Z is directly proportional to X. when X is 15, Z has the value of 45. what is the value of Z when X=23

IrinaVladis [17]

$If\ Z\ is\ directly\ proportional\ to\ X\ then\ \frac{Z}{X}=const.\\------------------------\\X=15\ and\ Z=45\\\\X=23\ and\ Z=?\\\\\frac{Z}{23}=\frac{45}{15}\to\frac{Z}{23}=3\ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 23\\\\\huge\boxed{Z=69}$
