If y varies directly as x, and y is 18 when x is 5, which expression can be used to find the value of y when x is 11? Oy- (11
y (11)
(18)(5)
oy-
5
11
2 y = (1865

y = 18/5(11)

Step-by-step explanation:

If y varies directly as x, this is expressed as;

y∝x

y = kx

k is the constant of proportional constant

if y = 18 and x = 5

18 = 5k

k = 18/5

to get the expression that can be used to find the value of y when x is 11

y = kx

y = 18/5(11)

This gives the required expression

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
