Answer: x = 17 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question: y α x

⇒ y = kx

y=4 and x = 10 implies

4 = 10k

k = 4/10

k = 2/5

substitute k = 2/5 into the equation

y = 2/5 x

When y = 7 , the equation becomes

7 = [tex]\frac{2x}{5}[/tex]

35 = 2x

35/2 =x

Therefore : 17 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

x =
