Answer:

If y = 60 then x = 25

Explanation:

You know that when y = 12 then x = 5

So when y = 60, x = 25

The reason for this is because 12 * 5 = 60.

Which means that since the y = 12 was multiplied by 5, the x = 5 should be multiplied by 5 too.

Since 5 * 5 = 25, then we know that if y = 60, then x will equal 25.

Hope this helped! :D
