The value of x is 8 when y = 12 if variables x and y have proportional relationship.
According to the given question.
Variables y and x have proportional relationship.
⇒ y ∝ x
Let k be the constant of proportionality.
⇒ y = kx
Also, it is given that
y = 21 when x = 14
Substitute the value of y = 21 and x = 14 in y = kx to find the value of k.
21 = k(14)
⇒ k = 21/14
⇒ k = 3/2
Therefore, the value of x when y = 12
y = kx
⇒ 12 = (3/2)x
⇒ 12 × 2 = 3x
⇒ 24 = 3x
⇒ x = 24/3
⇒ x = 8
Hence, the value of x is 8 when y = 12.
