Varies directly: [tex]\frac{y}{x} = k[/tex]

First, solve for k. Then replace the k-value into the equation and cross multiply to solve for the missing variable.

[tex]\frac{10}{8} = k[/tex]   ⇒   [tex]\frac{5}{4} = k[/tex]

[tex]\frac{30}{x} = \frac{5}{4}[/tex]

30(4) = 5(x)

6(4) = x       divided both sides by 5

24 = x
