Question

The value of y varies directly with x. If x = 3, then y = 4. What is the value of x when y = 120 ?

Answer 1

x=90

Explanation:

x is directly proportional to y

Therefore, if the initial y value was 4 and the final y value is 120. This means that y initial had been multiplied 120/4 times, which is 30.

Same goes for x. If x initial is 3, then the final x value would be x/3=30. This means that x=3×30, which is equal to 90.

Answer 2

x = 90

Explanation:

If x = 3 and y = 4 then when y = 120 just find out what times 4 = 120

which is 30.

so just multiply 30 for x = 3, then the answer will be 90

x = 90
