In the given problem, we know that y is directly proportional to x. We also know the direct variation formula. y = kx Now we need to substitute the value of x and y and find out the value of k. So 14 = 8k Then k = 8/14 = 4/7 Now in a new equation if we put the value of K and another value of x, then we can find the value of y. y = (4/7) * 12 = 48/7
