if y=-5 when x=15,find x when y=3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(5, 8) and (10, y) what is the value of Y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@idaliwow Use the proportion method. :) \[\frac{ -5 }{15} = \frac{ 3 }{ x }\] By cross multiplication, you will get x = -9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The second one goes like the first. Just use the proportion method. Try it first then let me see what you'll find. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16 ...thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anytime. Goodluck! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have given insufficient information here y can be any value.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Insufficient? There's nothing wrong with it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
