If varies directly with y and x = 6 m when y = 15, find x when y = 20

If x varies directly with y, then :

●  Increase in x results in increase of y

●  Decrease in x results in decrease of y

●  It is represented by : x ∝ y

Here : x₁ = 6 and y₁ = 15 and x₂ = x₂ and y₂ = 20

Substituting the values we get :

Answer : x = 8 when y = 20

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that x varies directly as y then the equation relating them is

x = ky ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition x = 6 when y = 15

k = = = 0.4

x = 0.4y ← equation of variation

When y = 20, then

x = 0.4 × 20 = 8

i think c. but don't trust it.
