Y varies directly with x, and y = 5 when x = 4. What is the value of x when y = 8?

1 answer:

7 0

As y varies directly with x, there is a proportionality constant. As x increases by that certain constant, y also increases. We equate:
y = kx
where k = proportionality constant.
Given the condition, y = 5 when x = 4, then we solve for k:
5 = k(4)
k = 5/4 or 1.25
When y = 8, then
8 = (5/4)(x)
x = 8/(5/4) = (8)(4/5) = 32/5 or 6.4 (ANSWER)

Remember that exponentioal rule
x^m times x^n=x^(m+n)
therefor
7^4 times 7^-6=7^(4-6)=7^(-2)
remember the other rule
x^-m=1/(x^m) so
7^-2=1/(7^2)=1/49

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

I think Roland is correct in his statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Roland says the number of cups of iced tea t depends on the number of tea bags b and he says the equation represents the relationship between the number of tea bags b and the cups of iced tea $t = \frac{b}{1.5}$ .

I think Roland is correct in his statement and this is because here t is a function of b i.e. t = f(b) and hence, the number of cups of iced tea t depends on the number of tea bags b. (Answer)
