If y varies directly as x and y= 6 when x= 10 find x when y=18

First, you plug in the first set of numbers into the direct variation equation (y=kx). This will be 6 = k(10). Then, you solve for the variable k. Divide 6 by 10 to get k alone on the right side, and k equals 3/5. Then, you plug in y and k to find the new x number. This would be 18 = 3/5(x). Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 3/5 to get x alone on the right side. This would make x = 30. If y = 18 and the variables vary directly, x would be equal to 30. Hope you have a great day!

5÷x-4 - 2÷x+2 = 4÷x-4

Alborosie

I'd suggest you begin by subtracting 4 / (x-4) from both sides. Doing that would leave you with 1 / (x-4) - 2 / (x+2) = 0.

LCD is (x-4)(x+2). Mult. all three terms by (x-4)(x+2). The resulting equation is

x+2 - 2(x-4) = 0. Then x+2 = 2x - 8 => x = 10

Subst. 10 for x in the original equation to verify that 10 is indeed a solution.
