Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

Find the smallest value of x

Expand the expression on the right hand side

Factorize

Take Square root of both sides

Remove bracket

Subtract 5 from both sides

or

Comparing both values of x;

The smallest value of x is

41*67/2=1373.5

step-by-step explanation:

i just used a calculator

the linear relationship that represents a variation in direct proportion is the linear function that varies according to the numbers of its domain, for example the cost of producing x number of items can be represented in direct proportion by f (x) = mx + b, where m is the constant of proportionality, x the number of articles produced and b the fixed cost
