Answer:

15/2

Explanation:

You want to first find the connection between the first statement, y=10 and x=20. The connection is that Y is X divided by 2. Then you want to just do the same equation to the y and keep it a fraction. (Hint. a fraction is the same as what you do to divide, its just the equation before you find your answer.) so your answer is 15/2.

Hope its right, and i hope this helped.
