Write an appropriate inverse variation equation if y = 11 when x = 3. can someone help

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf \begin{array}{cccllll} \textit{something }&\textit{varies inversely to }&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\ \textit{something }&=\cfrac{{\color{red}{ \textit{some value }}}}{\textit{something else}}\\ \quad \\ y&=\cfrac{{\color{red}{ n}}}{x} &&\implies y=\cfrac{{\color{red}{ n}}}{x} \end{array} \\ \quad \\ y=11\qquad x=3\qquad 11=\cfrac{{\color{red}{ n}}}{3}\) so solve for "n", or "constant of variation" and once you find "n", plug it back in the equation
