Answer:

k = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the equation is y = kx and x equals 3 while y equals 15, in order to solve this equation we are going to have to substitute the variables with their answers:

x = 3

y = 15

15 = 3k

Now we divide 3 from both 3x and 15 to segregate the variable x:

15/3 = 3k/3

5 = k

Now to check our work we are going to substitute 5 for the variable k, 3 for the variable x and 15 for the variable y.

y = kx

15= (5)(3)

15 = 15

Tada, I hope this helps you!

Answer:

k=5

Step-by-step explanation:

y=kx     Also meaning   y = k times x

x=3      y=15      

y divided by x   = 15 divided by 3 = 5

k=5

Lets Check Our Work

y=kx

15=?3

? times 3 is 15  = 5

How would i anser this select all the ratios equivalent to 4:6
Natali5045456 [20]
If we try to simplify the ratio or try to multiply both by any number, we will get the equivalent ratio


Like :

\frac{4}{6}  \\


Divide ( simplify ) by 2


\frac{ \frac{4}{2} }{ \frac{6}{2} }  \\  \\  \\  =  >  \frac{2}{3}




Or multiply by any number,



\frac{4}{6}  \\  \\  \\  =  >  \frac{4 \times 2}{6 \times 2}  \\  \\ \\    =  >  \frac{8}{12}





From the example, 2 / 3 and 8 / 12 are equivalent ratios to 4 / 6
