Please help me If y varies directly as x, and y = 12 when x = 15, find x when y = 21. A.0.83 B.26.25 C.0.8 D.24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

direct variation is y = kx k is constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with y = 12 and x = 15 solve for k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

after you determine this step we will continue..

OpenStudy (jkbo):

I got 0.8 @JuanitaM

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (jkbo):
