Answer 1

x = 24

Explanation:

Complete question

Y and x have a proportional relationship, and y = 24 when x = 16 What is the value of x when y = 36?

If y is proportional to x, then;

y = kx

24 = 16k

k = 24/16

k = 1.5

Recall that y = kx

36 = 1.5x

x = 36/1.5

x = 24

Hence the required value of x is 24
