Same as the last prob i did with you y = k*x plug in x and y and solve for k

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

y directly varies with x means y=kx 5=k8 solve for k @pielover123

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=8 y=5 k=45???

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[y = k*x~~~~5 = k*8~~~~~k = 5/8\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thanks:)

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[y = \frac{ 5 }{ 8 }*x\] put in y=15, solve for the X

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=9

OpenStudy (anonymous):
