Question

if x varies directly as y and X equal to 14 when Y equal to 16 find Y when X equal to 42 ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of Y is 44 when X is 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that X varies directly as Y.

That is if X increases then Y increases and vice versa.

It is also provided that when X = 14, Y = 16.

This implies that the relation between X and Y is:

Y = X + 2.

Now if X  = 42 compute the value of Y as follows:

Y = X + 2

  = 42 + 2

  = 44

Thus, the value of Y is 44 when X is 42.
