Answer:

[tex]10 \times 2 = 20 \\ 5 \times 3 = 15[/tex]

answer:10×2=20

5×3=15

Answer:

y = 7.5

Step-by-step 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 )

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = k

y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x ← equation of variation

When x = 15 , then

y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 15 = [tex]\frac{15}{2}[/tex] = 7.5
