Given \(x = 8\) and \(y = 20\), find \(y\) when \(x = 42\).

Asked by holiday0215

Answer (2)

Without a clear relationship between x and y, we cannot solve for y when x=42. However, there is information about setting up a proportion with a scale model which indicates that if the model is 42 inches, the actual building is 280 feet high. ;

To find y when x = 42 , we established a proportional relationship between x and y based on the initial values provided. Substituting x = 42 into the derived equation y = 2.5 x , we find that y = 105 . Therefore, when x = 42 , y equals 105.
