The value of y varies directly with the value of x. When y = 72, x = 6. What is the value of y when x = 10?​

Answer:

y = 120

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 when y = 72, x = 6, then

72 = 6k ( divide both sides by 6 )

12 = k

y = 12k ← equation of variation

When x = 10, then

y = 12 × 10 = 120
