Answer:

x = 1

Explanation:

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

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 12 when x = - 2, then

k =
(y)/(x) =
(12)/(-2) = - 6, thus

y = - 6x ← equation of variation

When y = - 6, then

- 6 = - 6x ( divide both sides by - 6 )

x = 1
