Answer:

C. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that inverse variation is given by:

\displaystyle y=\frac{k}{x}

Where <em>k</em> is the constant of variation.

We know that <em>y</em> = 48 when <em>x</em> = 3. Substitute:

\displaystyle (48)=\frac{k}{(3)}

Solve for <em>k: </em>

<em />k=3(48)=144<em />

<em />

Hence, our equation is:

\displaystyle y=\frac{144}{x}

We want to find <em>x</em> when <em>y</em> = 24. Substitute:

\displaystyle \frac{24}{1}=\frac{144}{x}

Cross-multiply:

24x=144

Divide both sides by 24. Hence:

x=6

Our answer is C.

-3k + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

-3k - (-8) + 2

-3k + 8 + 2 !!

-3k + 10 → simplified version of the given expression

!! → We got rid of the parenthesis by combining the two negative signs. The rules state that any 2 identical signs combined (in this case, - and -) equal a positive sign (+).
