do you know how to apply what we know to the problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Umm... not really. I just think we have to multiply or divide

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes we need to multiply, ok.. so the given information is 'x' and we need to find y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we have y=5.2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you already know what x is, so we apply that and we get y=5.2(20)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you see how i did that ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think so. U multiplied 5.2 times 20, which is in the x column, rite?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct, and then you get y= whatever 5.2 times 20 is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you understand it better now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok , what did you get as your final answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so would my answer be.. D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it sure will ! 5.2 times 20, is 104 / so y=104

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okie! Thnx for the help! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem
