So,

or

Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
or 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Required
Solve for x using:

First, we need to identify a, b and c
The general form of a quadratic equation is:

So, by comparison with 

Substitute these values of a, b and c in




Split the expression to two
or 
To solve further in decimal form, we have
or 
or 
or 
6.4 rounded to the nearest whole number will be 6.
if the decimal was 5 or larger, it would’ve been 7.
It was stated in the problem that a given volume of a is inversely proportional with the pressure of the system. It means that the as the volume increases, the pressure would decrease and as the volume decreases, the pressure would increase. We would express it as:
V α 1/P
To change it to an equality, we introduce a proportionality constant, k. We do as follows:
V = k/P
So, to determine what is asked, we need to first calculate for the value of k.
V = k/P
At V = 160 m^3 P = 108 cmHg
160 = k / (108)
k = 17280
Thus, at P = 87 cmHg
V = 17280 / 87
V = 198.62 m^3
