Question

variable y varies directly with variable x and y=20 when x=8
y=____
i got this
k=y/x
k=20/8
k=5/2
it has to be lowest terms

Answer 1

k = 5/2 is correct..

Answer 2

What you need to find? you are already given with \(y\), then again, you are asked to find \(y\) that means your question is not complete..

Answer 3

Check for wordings like, now if x = 24 then what is value of \(y\).. Something like that, is that given afterwards?
