Answer:
y=5x (your equation)

y=60 (your answer)

Step by step explanation:
You are given two numbers, 6 and 30. Since 6 goes into 30, 5 times, then y(which is equal to 30) is equal to x(which is equal to 6) multiplied by 5, so you get your equation,

Y=5X

then you have to solve for y, so just substitute

Y=5(12)

And simplify

Y=60

And there’s your answer
