Answer

$A=9$

Work Step by Step

The variation model described by the problem is $ A=kB .$ Substituting the known values in the variation model above results to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 6=k(14) \\ 6=14k \\ \dfrac{6}{14}=k \\ \dfrac{\cancel2\cdot3}{\cancel2\cdot7}=k \\ k=\dfrac{3}{7} .\end{array} Therefore, the variation equation is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} A=\dfrac{3}{7}B .\end{array} Using the variation equation above, then \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} A=\dfrac{3}{7}(21) \\ A=\dfrac{3}{\cancel7}(\cancel7\cdot3) \\ A=9 .\end{array} Hence, $ A=9 .$
