The variable y is directly proportional to the variable x. if y = 12 when x = 14, what is the value of x when y = 24? a) 26 b) 28 c) 30 d) 32 correct answers only, ill mark you the !

B) 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for direct proportion is

y= kx

If y =12 and x =14

12 = k * 14

Divide each side by 14

12/14 = k

Simplifying

6/7 =k

y =6/7 x

Now if y =24

24 = 6/7 x

Multiply each side by 7/6 to isolate x

24 * 7/6 = 7/6 * 6/7 x

28 =x

hope it

step-by-step explanation:

x^(1/6) · x^(1/6) · x^(1/6)   ·x^(1/6) = x^(4/6)   since we add the exponents

4/6 can be simplified to 2/3

the simplified form is x^(2/3)

not sure but it may be b, as i said i'm not sure.
