Answer:

y = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

given that x and y are proportional then

y = kx ← k is the constant of proportionality

to find k use the given condition y = 14 when x = 8

k = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{14}{8} = \frac{7}{4}, thus

y = \frac{7x}{4}

when x = 32

y = \frac{7(32)}{4} = 56

X=area of Sahara.
y=area of the Gobi Desert.
We suggest this system equations:
x+y=4000000
x=7y
solve by susbstitution method.
(7y)+y=4,000,000
8y=4,000,000
y=4,000,000 / 8=500,000

x=7y
x=7(500,000)=3,500,000

The area of Sahara=3,500,00 miles².
The area of the Gobi Desert=500,000 miles²

To check:
Te sum of their areas is : 3,500,000 miles²+500,000 miles²=4,000,000 miles²
Te area of sahara (3,500,000 miles²) is 7 times the area of the Gobi Desert (7*500,000 miles²=3,500,000 miles²).

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is the universal solvent" with a grain of salt (pun intended). Of course it cannot dissolve everything, but it does dissolve more substances than any other liquid, so the term fits pretty well. Water's solvent properties affect all life on Earth, so water is universally important to all of us.
