Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Method

Inversely in this sentence means

y = k/x    

So you first step is to find the value of k. You do that by setting up an inverse relationship with y = 2 , x = 5

2 = k/5                     Multiply both sides by 5

2*5 = 5*k/5

10 = k

Now you are able to answer the question.

  • k = 10
  • y = 3
  • x = ?

y = 10/x

3= 10/x                      Multiply both sides by x

3*x = x * 10/x

3x = 10                      Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 10/3

x = 3.33 or x = 3 1/3

Answer

x = 3.33 or x = 3  1/3
