4. Suppose y varies directly with x, and y = 24 when x = 8. What is the value of y when x = 10? A. 10 B. 30 C. 80 D. 240

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

y = kx Plug in y = 24 and x = 8. Solve for k. 24 = 8k k = ?

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

Hint: Divide 8 on both sodes

OpenStudy (mellamokatie):

Ohhh yeah I was confused on that how did you know that lool

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

y = kx is the equation for direct variation, where k is the constant of proprtionality.

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

proportionality*

OpenStudy (mellamokatie):

Wait 24 divided by 8 is 3

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

So, k = 3 the equation is y = 3x Now, we plug in x = 10 y = 3 (10) y = ?

OpenStudy (mellamokatie):

ohhhh okay that makes sense 30 so its A Yay :DDD Thank you, You;re WAY better help than

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

It was my pleasure!
