The value of y varies directly with x2, and y = 36 when x = 3. What is the value of y when x = 5?

20 right

OpenStudy (darthvader2900):

If y varies directly as x, then: y = kx, for some constant k. Since y = 36 when x = 9, we see that: 36 = 9k ==> k = 4. So, the equation that relates x and y is: y = 4x. Therefore, when x = 5: y = 4(5) = 20.
