Answer:

Explanation:

From the law if variation,

x <> y ______(1) ,where <> is known as the constant if proportionality.

x = k/y where k is a constant____(2)

Substitute for the values of x and y to get the k

9 = k/6

Therefore k= 54

To find the value of x, go back to equation 2 and substitute for the values if k and y given and computed.

x = 54/15; reduced to lowest term

x = 18/5

x = 3.6
