Given that y varies directly as x when y = 2 and x = -12, find x when y = 5.

x = -30

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the direct variation equation, y = kx

Plug in 2 as y and -12 as x, and solve for k:

y = kx

2 = k(-12)

-1/6 = k

So, the equation is y = -1/6x

Plug in 5 as y and solve for x:

y = -1/6x

5 = -1/6x

-30 = x

So, when y = 5, x = -30

answer: 4

step-by-step explanation:

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.
