um, supose y varies as x. Write as direct variation equation then solve?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

"Direct Variation" s a sufficient hint. "y varies directly with x" MEANS y = kx for some value of k. Now we need an example. 6 = k*10 ==> k = 6/10 = 3/5 Now we know that y = (3/5)x and we can answer the question.
