Question

Assume that y varies directly with x. If y=9 when x=−3, find x when y=6. Enter in any fractions using a / (e.g. "1/2" is the same as 1^/2).

Answer 1

Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a direct proportion. Since y varies as x. This will be:

y = kx

where,

y = 9

x= 3

9 = 3k

k = 9/3

k = 3

Find x when y=6

y = kx

6 = 3x

x = 6/3

x = 2
