Answer:

y = 165

Explanation:

given y varies directly as x then tehe equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

to find k substitute x = 3 when y = 15 into the equation

15 = 3k ( duvide both sides by 3 )

5 = k

y = 5x ← equation of variation

when x = 33 , then

y = 5x = 5 × 33 = 165
