Question

If y = 6 when x = 24, what is the value of x when y = 7

Answer 1

You can solve this problem through using a proportion.

First, set up two equations that are based on
`(x)/(y)`.

Your equation should be
`(24)/(6) = (x)/(7)`. This is because you can substitute all the variables that are defined in their numbers. x is not determined.

You would have to continue solving through cross multiplication.

`(24)/(6) = (x)/(7)`

24 * 7 = 6 x

168=6x

x=28 is your final answer. Hope this helped!

Answer 2

We have: Y=6 n X=24 => X=4xY

So if Y=7 => X=28
