Answer:

y = 49

Explanation:

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

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 21 when x = 6 , then

21 = 6k ( divide both sides by 6 )

3.5 = k

y = 3.5x ← equation of variation

When x = 14 , then

y = 3.5 × 14 = 49
