If y varies directly to x and y = 27 when x = 3. Find y when x = 11?
If y varies directly to x and y = 27 when x = 3. Find y when x = 11?
Explanation
Since y varies directly with x, we can write:
y = kx
where k is the constant of proportionality.
Given y = 27 and x = 3:
27 = k(3)
Divide by 3:
k = 9
Now, use this value of k to find y when x = 11:
y = 9(11)
y = 99
