Find x when y= 25, if y= 7 when x= 8

OpenStudy (kainui):

It could literally be anything unless there is more information.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

26

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is y directly proportional to x or inversely proportional.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because this is definately a proportion question and needs more information

OpenStudy (kainui):

@xlLilly It could just as easily be anything else. \[y=m(x-8)+7\] You can plug in any value you want for m and you will still get y=7 when x=8. This means when you plug in y=25 you can still pick an infinite number of choices for m and still get a true statement.

i just did 25-7=18 then 18+8 and got 26
