if y varies directly as x and y=49 when x=7 what is the value of y when x=3

OpenStudy (hyuna301):

We can also write y = 7x So if x = 3 , then y = 21

OpenStudy (valjayrob):

thanks hyuna iI did pick the right answer

OpenStudy (ijlal):

y varies directly with x means that y is directly proportional to x that is\[y \alpha x\] when you remove the directly proportional sign a constant k is added which means \[y=kx\]

OpenStudy (ijlal):

so y=49 and x =7 means 49/7=k which is k=7 so y=7x now u can plug in the values to get your answer :)
