$x-\ number\ of\ gruppies\\\\
80\leq32+12+6x\\\\
80\leq44+6x\ \ \ \ subtract\ 20\\\\
36\leq6x\ \ \ \ | divide\ by\ 6\\\\
x\geq6\\\\
She\ bought\ 6\ or\ less\ gruppy fishes,$

Write an appropriate inverse variation equation if y = 9 when x = 3.

pav-90 [236]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation}\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=kx\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
k=constant\ of\\
\qquad variation
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
y=9\\
x=3
\end{cases}\implies 9=k3\implies \cfrac{9}{3}=k\implies \boxed{3=k}
\\\\\\
thus\qquad y=3x$
