If x varies inversely with y and x = 4 when y = 9, find x when y = 6.

OpenStudy (igreen):

What's 4 / 9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=6

"x varies inversely with y" means \(y = k \dfrac{1}{x}\). You need to find k first. Plug x=4 and y=9 then solve for k.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
