y is 2/3.
-12x = 72 Divde both sides by -12 to find the value of x: x = -6
If P varies directly with the square of Q then the equation would be in the form of P = kQ2, where k is the constant of variation so the new equation would be: P = 6Q2, so when Q = 12 we have P=6*122, or P = 864

6 + 12 = 18 6 * 12 = 72
As an equation if: 6x = 72 then x = 12
72 in 12 = 6
-12x = 72 Divde both sides by -12 to find the value of x: x = -6
If P varies directly with the square of Q then the equation would be in the form of P = kQ2, where k is the constant of variation so the new equation would be: P = 6Q2, so when Q = 12 we have P=6*122, or P = 864
-6 when you multiply two minus numbers the minus signs cancel each other out so -12 * -6 = 72
Multiply each value by 6.
S is increased from 4 to 6: a multiple of 6/4 = 1.5 So P, which is directly proportional to S, increases from 18 to 18*1.5 = 27
think back to elementry
72 is divisible by 6. (72 / 6 = 12) Hence 6 is a composite number of 72.
The LCM is: 72lcm(9, 8, 6) = 72
y varies directly as x y=kx, where k is a constant y=18 when x=3 18=3k k=6 y=6x
The least common multiple of 36 and 72 is 72. Since 72 is a multiple of 36, it is automatically the LCM.
Because 6 is a factor of 72 and also because 72 is a multiple of 6.
