Answer:
[tex]y = 75[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]y\ \alpha\ \ x[/tex]
[tex]y=24; x =16[/tex]
Required
Find y when [tex]x = 50[/tex]
We have:
[tex]y\ \alpha\ \ x[/tex]
Express as equation
[tex]y = kx[/tex]
Solve for k
[tex]k = \frac{y}{x}[/tex]
When [tex]y=24; x =16[/tex]
[tex]k = \frac{24}{16}[/tex]
[tex]k = \frac{3}{2}[/tex]
When [tex]x = 50[/tex], we have:
[tex]y = kx[/tex]
[tex]y = \frac{3}{2} * 50[/tex]
[tex]y = 75[/tex]
