    15/2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    y varies directly as x can be written as:

    y & x

    y = Kx

    K = y/x

    But from the question, we were told that:

    y = 10

    X = 20

    K = y/x

    K = 10/20

    K = 1/2

    The formula for the expression is:

    y = Kx

    y = 1/2 x

    Now let us solve for y, when:

    x = 15

    y = 1/2 x

    y = 1/2 x 15

    y = 15/2
