If p varies directly with q, and p = 10 when q = 2, what is the value of p when q = 20? A. p = 28 B. p = 100 C. p = 1 D. p = 40

Nnesha (nnesha):

what 's the equation for direct variation ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont remember and i suck at it

Nnesha (nnesha):

direct variation y = kx y varies directly with x :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well it is just a ratio

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay yeah i remember that now

Nnesha (nnesha):

alright so p varies directly with q write an equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don't you just multiply p•5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100?

Nnesha (nnesha):

nope what's the equation p varies directly with q ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

y varies directly with q y = kx now replace y by p and x by q

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whaaaaaa

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[10=k2\] ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

Nnesha (nnesha):

sorry intnt gt disconnected

Nnesha (nnesha):

that's right solve for k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k=5?

Nnesha (nnesha):

right \[\huge\rm p=2q\] substitute q value solve for p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so what would it be when its 20?

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

Nnesha (nnesha):

ohh sorry i thought u said q would be 20 .-.

Nnesha (nnesha):

so replace q by 20 solve for p

Nnesha (nnesha):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Nnesha right \[\huge\rm p=2q\] substitute q value solve for p \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\) q=20 plug in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Nnesha ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks:)
