Question

If x=8 then y=4. What is the value of x when y=8?

Answer 1

wouldn’t it be X=16

Answer 2

x = 16

Explanation:

You can create a proportion to solve this.

X over Y --> 8 over 4 (picture this in fraction form lol)

8 over 4 = x over 8

Cross-multiply

4x = 64

Divide both sides by 4

x = 16
