Answer:

y = 10

Explanation:

given that 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 = 125 when x = 25 , then

125 = 25k ( divide both sides by 25 )

5 = k

y = 5x ← equation of variation

when x = 2 , then

y = 5 × 2 = 10
