Question

If p and q vary inversely and p is 24 when q is 2, determine q when pp is equal to 12.

Answer 1

Answer:

P=x when Q=3, so x=k/3.  When Q=x, P=k/x. Next, simplify the two equations for the same variable. Technically, this is one of many techniques for solving a system of two equations with two unknowns.

x=k/3 and P=k/x become

k=3x and k=Px

Px = 3x. Divide both sides by x to produce

P=3
