OpenStudy (anonymous):
"y varies directly with x" tells us that the relationship between y and x looks like \[y=kx\] for some constant k. Given this information, do you know how to solve for k?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
divide y by x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yup. And you're given a pair of values for x and y, so you can plug in and solve for k.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 24+k(-15)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
*=k

ah wait nvm i solved thank you
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Correct! Now that you've found k, use the new value of y (y=16) to find your x!

haha cool!
