Answer:

x =7

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct variation equation is y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

If y = 5.5 when x = 11, we can write 5.5 = 11k, which, when solved for k, yields k = 0.5.  

Then the direct variation equation in this case is y = 0.5x.

If y = 3.5, what is x?  y = 0.5x becomes 3.5 = 0.5x, yielding x = 7

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx

5.5=m×11

5.5÷11=m

m=1/2

y=mx

3.5=1/2×x

3.5÷1/2=x

x=7
