Hi there! I can help you with this! First, let's combine like terms and do everything for the right side of the problem. When you do the distributive property, you get 32x - 40. Combine like terms and you'll get 32x - 60. Now, the inequality is 20x = 32x - 60. First, let's subtract 32x from both sides to get the integer by itself. When you do that, you get -12x = -60. Now, divide each side by -12 to isolate the "x". -60/-12 is 5. Let's plug it in. 20 * 5 is 100. 32 * 5 is 160. 160 - 60 is 100. 100 = 100. There. x = 5.

Let x1 = 12, y1 = 15, and y2 = 3. Let y vary inversely with x. Find x2.

Ostrovityanka [42]

We have that an inverse variation in a function is given by:
$y = k / x
$
We must find the value of the constant k.
To do this, we substitute the values of x1 = 12, y1 = 15.
We have then:
$15 = k / 12
$
Clearing k we have:
$k = (15) * (12)

k = 180$
Substituting the value of k we have that the inverse variation is:
$y = 180 / x
$
For y2 = 3 we have:
$3 = 180 / x2
$
Clearing x2 we have:
$x2 = 180/3$
$x2 = 60$
Answer:
$x2 = 60$
