The value of y varies directly with x. If x = 3, then y = 21. What is the value of x when y= 105?

Answer:

x = 15

Explanation:

given y varies directly with x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

to find k , substitute, x = 3 when y = 21 into the equation

21 = 3k ( divide both sides by 3 )

7 = k

y = 7x ← equation of variation

when y = 105 , then

105 = 7x ( divide both sides by 7 )

15 = x
