y = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

Well if y varies directly with x it means that when y increases x increase and if y decrease x also decreases.

So let us put this in a equation,

y = kx

where 'k' is constant

so k = y/x

let us put the figures of x and y from given first statement;

x = 7 and y = 18

so, k = 18 / 7

which means, k = 2.57

lets put this value of k in the equation above,

we know from statement that, x = 17 and k = 2.57

so, y = 2.57 (17)

which means, y = 43.71

or we can round it off, y = 44

yes because there is exactly one y value for every x value

for function there can't be more than one value for every x value

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
