Yvaries directly with x and y = 12 when x =5 what is the value of y when x = 8

Y and x are directly proportional, as stated by hypothesis. Let's use the rule of three to find y when x = 8.

x=5 --> y=12
x=8 --> y=?

? = (8*12)/5 = 96/5 = 19.2

So y directly varies with x, and y=12 when x = 5, then y=19.2 when x=8.

Hope this Helps! :D
