Question

If p = kq, where k is a constant, and if q = 3 when p = 51, what does q equal when p = 85?

Answer 1

find k first

Answer 2

i dont kno how to

Answer 3

p=kq=>51=3k solve for k

Answer 4

i still cant do it can u tell me the answer than explain it please tht will make it easier to understand

Answer 5

51=3k=>k=17
now the formula becomes p=17q
you want to find q when p=85,so 85=17q=>q=5

Answer 6

omg i dont understand any of tht or wht to do

Answer 7

p and q are variables ,that is they are always changing in such a way that p=kq,
where k is a constant,they are called directly proportional
to solve such problems you should be first able to solve simple equations

Answer 8

We given the equation p = kq and we're given the values of p and q.
q = 3 , p = 51. Insert those values into the formula. Let me know what you get.
