If y varies inversely as x and y=3 when x=14, find x when y=6

alukav5142 [94]

X=7 What you can do is look at the first two values given, and make them x1 and y1. Then your next value here is y2.

So x1 is 14, and y1 is 3. y2 becomes 6. X2 is unknown.

Then make the formula: x1/y2 is equal to x2/y1
(You are setting two fractions equal to each other)

That makes 14/6=X/3. When we cross multiply, we find that x=7.
