x varies directly as the product of u and v and inversely as their sum. If x = 3 when u = 3 and v = 1, what is the value of x if u = 3 and v = 3?

A.

3

B.

4

C.

6

D.

9

Correct Answer: 6

Explanation

x ∝ uv/u+v. x = kuv/u+v. K =x(u+v)/uv. 3(3+1)/3 × 1. 3 × 4/3. k = 4. x = 4uv/u+v. x = 4 × 3 × 3 3 +3. x = 36/6. x = 6

x ∝ uv/u+v. x = kuv/u+v. K =x(u+v)/uv. 3(3+1)/3 × 1. 3 × 4/3. k = 4. x = 4uv/u+v. x = 4 × 3 × 3 3 +3. x = 36/6. x = 6
