Variable y varies directly with variable x, and y = 56 when x = 8. What is the value of y when x = 3? y = ___ My answer is 21

OpenStudy (mysticfury):

i took 56 divided by 8 and got 7 then took 7 x 3 and got 21

Directrix (directrix):

That is correct. The variation constant is 7 from the given information. Y = 7*x and then 7*3 =21 from that.
