Do this and then simplify the result
that's the simplification mod
Answer:
k = 18
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 = 3 when x = 6, that is
3 =
( multiply both sides by 6 )
18 = k
The constant of variation is k = 18
268 gallons are remaining. The equation would be y=324-7x, with x being 8. 7(8) is 56, and then you take away 56 from 324, which then gives you 268 gallons remaining
