Y is inversely proportional to X.

When X = 3, y = 24

What is Y if x = 24?

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since y varies inversely as x, this means that

y ∝ 1/x

Removing the proportionality sign, we have

y = k/x, where k is the constant

Given;

X = 3, y = 24

Substitute the values into the equation

24 = k/3, cross multiply

24 (3) = k

k = 72.

Substitute k into the equation, the equation becomes;

y = 72/x

to find y when x is 24 Substitute it into the formula;

y = 72/24

y = 3
