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
