x = 8.4
Step-by-step explanation:
The function can be written as
y = kx
Where
k = constant of proportionality
When y= 10. x= 6
y = kx
Substitute into the equation
10 = k * 6
10 = 6 k
Divide both sides by 6
k = 10 / 6
k = 5 / 3
Or
k = 1.67
Find x when y= 14
y = k * x
14 = 5/3x
x = 14 Γ· 5/3
= 14 Γ 3/5
= 42 / 5
= 8.4
x = 8.4
