If y is directly proportional to x and y = 5 when x =2, what is the value of y when x=6

y=15

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for direct variation is

y = kx

5 =k*2

Solve for k

Divide by 2

5/2 = k

y = 5/2 x

Now we substitute x=6

y = 5/2(6)

y = 15

y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

If the variables are directly proportional, increasing one by a factor of 3 will mean the other one also increases by a factor of 3.

6 is 3 times 2, so the value of y will be 3 times 5, or 15.

___

You can write the relation as a proportion:

y/x = 5/2 = ?/6

Multiplying by 6 gives ...

(5/2)·6 = ? = 15

___

Or, you can bother with an equation relating x and y:

y = kx

5 = k·2 . . . plug in the given values and solve for k

5/2 = k . . . divide by 2

Then ...

y = (5/2)·6 = 15 . . . . same as the proportion, above.

If you rearrange this to y = 5·(6/2) then you see the relation described at the beginning of this solution. The new value of y is the old value multiplied by the factor by which x changes.

5+2x=a

the correct answer is a) "catholic church".

the proposals that liberals in mexico made during 1855 were particularly focused on a person's individual rights, such as the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, freedom of assembly, and the right to possess weapons.

when the constitution was formally published 2 years later (1857). it also contained an article which permitted education free from any religious influence, the removal of the catholic church institutional privileges, and the sale of property belonging to the church. all of these provisions were clearly against the catholic church interests.
