If y varies directly as x, we have that
[tex]y\propto x[/tex]Then
[tex]y=kx(where\text{ k is a constant\rparen}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} When\text{ y=84 , x= 6} \\ y=kx \\ 84=6k \\ k=\frac{84}{6}=14 \end{gathered}[/tex]The relationship between x and y is given as
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=kx \\ y=14x \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore when x= 12, y=?
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=14x \\ y=14\times12=168 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the value of y when x = 12 is 168
Final answer: y = 168
