T=d^2root(3)(x)T=d23x

Explanation:

"the initial statement can be expressed as"the initial statement can be expressed as

Tpropd^2root(3)(x)Td23x

"to convert to an equation multiply by k the constant"to convert to an equation multiply by k the constant
"of variation"of variation

rArrT=kd^2root(3)(x)T=kd23x

"to find k use the given condition"to find k use the given condition

T=18" when "x=8" and "d=3T=18 when x=8 and d=3

T=kd^2root(3)(x)rArrk=T/(d^2root(3)(x))=18/(9xx2)=1T=kd23xk=Td23x=189×2=1

"equation is " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(T=d^2root(3)(x))color(white)(2/2)|)))
