Hi There!

Answer:

B) 28

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 12 and x = 14 are both proportional.

y = 24 and x = ? are both proportional.

You notice that 24 is twice as much as 12 so we do the same with x.

14 * 2 = 28

They are both proportional when y = 24 and x = 28.

Hope This Helps :)

Answer:

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
