We write y=kx since y varies directly as x.

Now we know if x is 5, y is 10.

so we write

10=5k so k=2

X varies directly with y and z x equals 400 when y equals 8 and z equals 10 Find x when y equals 10 and z equals 12?

x = 5.y.z so 5.10.12 = 600


Given y varies directly as x and y equals 125 when x equals 25what is the value of y when x equals 2?

y varies directly as x so y = cx for some constant c. y = 125 when x = 25 so 125 = c*25 so that c = 5 ie the relationship is y = 5x Then when x = 2, y = c*x = 5*2 = 10

If c equals 5 find the value of 2c have to show the working out?

2c 2(5) 10 The answer is 10. You plug in the value of 5 for c. When the number and variable touch directly it implies multiplication.


X varies directly with y and inversely with z x equals 20 when y equals 8 and z equals 4 Find x when y equals 4 and z equals 8?

The answer is x=10. If: x=20 y=8 z=4 then: y=8/2=4 z=4*2=8 since x varies directly with y, meaning whatever happens to y, happens to x, so if y was divided by 2, then x should be divided by 2. After all, the inverse of division is multiplication.
