Question

If y=24 when x=6, find y when x=-4

Answer 1

To solve this question, we need to use cross multiplication. We know that:

• y = 24 when x = 6

We want to find the value of y when x = -4

Then, we can write:

`(24)/(6)=(y)/(-4)`

And solve:

`\begin{gathered} 4=(y)/(-4) \\ . \\ y=-4\cdot4 \\ . \\ y=-16 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the answer is y = -16 when x = -4
