![\bf \stackrel{\textit{"x" varies with "y"}}{x=ky}\qquad \textit{we also know that } \begin{cases} x=7.5\\ y=10 \end{cases}\implies 7.5=k(10) \\\\\\ \cfrac{7.5}{10}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{15}{2}~~}{10}=k\implies \cfrac{3}{4}=k~\hfill \boxed{x=\cfrac{3}{4}y} \\\\\\ \textit{when y = 4, what is \underline{x}?}\qquad x=\cfrac{3}{~~\begin{matrix} 4 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}(~~\begin{matrix} 4 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~)\implies x=3](/tpl/images/0002/2738/55e0c.png)
