Direct Equation Solver

Worksheet Description

This worksheet asks students to find the value of y in a direct variation equation for given values of x. Direct variation equations take the form y = kx, where students must use multiplication to determine the output. The problems involve a range of values for x and different constants of proportionality, providing practice with straightforward multiplication in algebraic expressions. This is a good exercise to reinforce the relationship between two directly proportional variables.

Practicing this worksheet helps students strengthen their understanding of direct variation, an important concept in algebra. By repeatedly solving for y, students reinforce their skills with multiplication and working with proportionality. This type of practice enhances their problem-solving ability and prepares them for more complex concepts involving functions and equations. It also improves their fluency with basic algebraic manipulations and proportional reasoning.
