The value of y varies directly with the value of x, and y = 12 when x = 4. Which equations represent the relationship between y and x? Choose exactly two answers that are correct. A. y/x=3 B.xy=3 C.x=3y D.y=3x

@Destinymasha

Nnesha (nnesha):

equation for direct variation is \[\huge\rm y = kx \] first replace x and y by their values and solve for k k is constant of variation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since they say the value of y varies directly with the value of x then try an substitude a value of x which is 4 in the given equations and see which one gives you y as 12

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

so the answer is a and c sorry im not good at math i am really good at science and history

Nnesha (nnesha):

x = 3y like if you wanna do like "percy" said then replace y by 12 and see if you get both side equal then yes if both side are not equal then nope

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

oh okay i get it now thanks i wish i could give both of you meadals

Nnesha (nnesha):

nah that's fine let us know what you get ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well you are welcome

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

wait so x=3y is one of the answers?

Nnesha (nnesha):

replace x and y by their values and let me know what you get on both side

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

because 4 does not equal to (3)12

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes that's mean x =3y is wrong

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

okay i got D and A?!

Nnesha (nnesha):

YES RIGHT

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

yeah im so happy!
