Answer:

\huge \purple{ \boxed{ y =  \frac{2}{3} }}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the variables x and y are inversely proportional.

\therefore \: y  \:  \: \alpha \:  \:  \frac{1}{x}  \\  \implies \: y =  \frac{k}{x} \\ (k = constant)  \\  \implies \: xy = k ...(1)\\ plug \: y = 2, \:  \: x = 3   \: in  \: equation \: (1) \\ we \: find \\ 2 \times 3 = k \\ k = 6 \\ plug \:k = 6   \: in  \: equation \: (1)  \\ xy = 6 \\ (this \: is \: the \: equation \: of \: variation) \\ when \: x = 9 \:  \: y =?  \\  \\ 9y = 6 \\  y =  \frac{6}{9}  \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ y =  \frac{2}{3} }}

Please help solve for PQ.
DerKrebs [107]
This problem cannot be solved unless we are given figure NPQR is a rhombus.
In that case, then all sides are equal, meaning 
5x+16=9x-32
Solve for x
9x-5x=16+32
4x=48
x=12

Each side (including PQ) then equals 5x+16=5*12+16=76
