3) Choose the correct answer.
If y varies directly as x and x = 2 when y = 3, what will y be when x = 10?

Answer

  1. Since y varies directly as x, we have y = kx for some constant k. Given x = 6 when y = 12, we find k = y/x = 12/6 = 2. When x = 24, y = 2 * 24 = 48. The correct answer is 48.

  2. Since y varies directly as x, we have y = kx for some constant k. Given x = 2 when y = 3, we find k = y/x = 3/2. When x = 10, y = (3/2) * 10 = 15. The correct answer is 15.
