Question 1 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)
y varies directly with x.
y = k*x
Solve for "k" using "When y = 20, x = 50."
20 = k*50
k = 2/5
----
Equation:
y = (2/5)x
------------------
Find x when y = 36.
36 = (2/5)x
x = (5/2)36
x = 90
==============================
Question 2 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)
y varies inversely with twice the value of x.
y = k/(2x)
----
Solve for "k" "When y = 8, x = 2".
8 = k/(2*2)
8 = k/4
k = 32
-----
Equation:
y = 32/(2x) = 16/x
--------------------------
Find y when x = 8.
y = 16/8 = 2
===================================
Note: I'll leave the last one to you.
Cheers,
Stan H.
