Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is
y = ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition y = 5 when x = 3
k = yx = 5 × 3 = 15, thus
y = ← equation of variation
When y = 15 then
15 = ( multiply both sides by x )
15x = 15 ( divide both sides by 15 )
x = 1
20/q = 7/9
20×9 = 7q
7q = 180
q = 180/7
X^2+15^2=25^2
X^2+225=625
Isolate X
X^2=400
Take the square root on both sides
X=positive and negative 20 but in this case the negative is thrown out because you can't have a negative side
Answer: 20
