Question

Y varies directly as x. y = 60 when x = 5. Find y when x = 17. Y=

Answer 1

204

Explanation:

Hello!

If y varies directly with x, that means y is a result of multiplying a number by x.

When x is 5 and y is 60, x is being multiplied by 12 to get y. That means, the direct variation equation is y = 12x.

Replace 17 with x to find y.

Evaluate

• y = 12x; x = 17
• y = 12(17)
• y = 204

The value of y when x is 17 is 204.
