Answer:

The value of x = 4 when the value of y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ y α x ⇒ it is direct variation

- It means y increase when x increase

∴ y = kx ⇒ where k is a constant

- To find the value of k we will substitute the values of x

  and y in the equation above

- If y = 6 when x = 2

∴ 6 = k(2) ⇒ divide two sides by 2

∴ k = 3

∴ y = 3x ⇒ equation of variation

- To find the value of x when y = 12

- Substitute the value of y in the equation of variation

∴ 12 = 3x ⇒ divide both sides by 3

∴ x = 4

* The value of x = 4 when the value of y = 12

Answer: x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the direct variation eqution has the following form:

[tex]y=kx[/tex]

Where k is the constant.

Therefore, if If [tex]y=6[/tex] when [tex]x=2[/tex], you can calculate k as following:

-Substitute values.

- Solve for k.

Then:

 [tex]6=k(2)\\k=3[/tex]

Then, when [tex]y=12[/tex], you can calculate the value of x as it is shown below:

-Substitute values.

- Solve for x.

Then:

[tex]12=3x\\x=4[/tex]
