Question

How do you solve this:

Answer 1

Y varies inversely with x: if x=2 and y = 25 what is x when y is 5

Answer 2

So basically, The phrase “ y varies inversely as x” or “ y is inversely proportional to x” means that as x gets bigger, y gets smaller, or vice versa.
To solve this:
\[y _{_{1}}x _{_{1}}=y _{2}x _{2}\]
So we have x1=2 and y1=25
We have y2=5 but need to find x2.
y1x1=y2x2
(2)(25)=(5)x
50=5x
divide by 5
25=x
