  1. Mr. Mann i don't really understand how to do 24, 26, or 27..

    24) if y=6 when x=10, find x when y=18

    26) if y=4 1/4 when x=3/4, find y when x=4 1/2

    27) if y=12 when x=6/7, find x when y=16

  2. The direct variation (k) of a line will not change, it doesn't matter what x and y are. So you need to find k when they give you x and y and then plug it in for k when they give you just y or just x. For example number 24...

    y=kx
    6=k10 (substitute)
    6/10=k (divide by 10 both sides)
    3/5=k (simplify 6/10 to 3/5)

    Now that you have k=3/5 you can solve the equation when y=18

    y=kx
    18=3/5(x) (Substitute)
    30=x (divide both sides by 3/5)

    If y=18 then x=30
