Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
y=kx if y is directly related to x
12 = k(6/7)
k =(7/6)12 = 14
y=kx
16 = 14x
x = 16/14 = 8/7
16 is 1/3 more than 12, 16= 12+ 12/3 = 12+4
6/7(1/3)= 2/7. 2/7 + 6/7 = 8/7 is 1/3 more than 6/7. 1/3 of 6/7 = 2/7
BUT if y is inversely related to x, then
y=x/k
12=7/k
k = 7/12
y=x/7/12 = 12x/7
y = 12x/7
16 = 12x/7
112 = 12x
x = 112/12 = 56/6
x =56/6=28/3
odd are the expected answer is the direct relation with x = 8/7 when y= 16
