Answer:

y = 7.5

Explanation:

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

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 10 when x = 20

10 = 20k ( divide both sides by 20 )


image = k

y =
image x ← equation of variation

When x = 15 , then

y =
image × 15 =
image = 7.5
