## lyssa Group Title y varies inversely as twice x. When x = 2, y = 5. Find y when x = 10 2 years ago 2 years ago

1. myininaya Group Title

inversely think division directly think multiplication Your problem says inversely So you want to do division y=k/what?

2. myininaya Group Title

k is a constant by the way

3. myininaya Group Title

what goes in the denominator?

4. lyssa Group Title

I forgot the formula though

5. myininaya Group Title

what does twice x mean?

6. lyssa Group Title

two times X

7. myininaya Group Title

right so that part is the answer to my question

8. myininaya Group Title

$y=\frac{k}{2x}$

9. lyssa Group Title

What is K though?

10. myininaya Group Title

Now plug in 2 for x and 5 for y and solve for k This number k is a constant so what you get is what k will always be no matter what x and y are

11. lyssa Group Title

OH!! Ok thanks:D

12. myininaya Group Title

Feel free to let me know what you get for k And I will give you a thumbs up or a thumbs down k?

13. lyssa Group Title

K=20

14. myininaya Group Title

Brilliant! *puts thumbs up*

15. lyssa Group Title

How do I solve the other part where it say find Y when X=10 though

16. myininaya Group Title

So we have $y=\frac{20}{2x}$ Plug in x for 10 Simplify and evaluate to get y

17. myininaya Group Title

And you are done after that Congrats

18. lyssa Group Title

Y= 1

19. myininaya Group Title

yep

20. lyssa Group Title
