Answer 2

never mind i think i figured it out.

Answer 3

If you have an inverse variation,

\[y = k/x\] for some value of \(k\).

You can find \(k\) by plugging in corresponding values of \(x\) and \(y\):

\[x=3, y = 24\]\[24 = k/3\]\[k=72\]
Try out with the others:
\[y=72/x\]\[18=72/4\checkmark\]\[9=72/8\checkmark\]
