Can someone help me

Question

if x varies directly as y, and x=24 when y=3, find x when y=7

Answer 1

If the relationship is linear, then y =kx where k is the proportionality constant.

Solving for k from the information k = y/x = 3/24 = 1/8

The 7 = (1/8)x or x = 56

Another method is just to use a ratio: 24/3 = x/7 or x = 7(24)/3 = 56
