Two variables, x and y, vary inversely, and x=12 when y=4. what is the value of y when x=3?

Hey there! Thanks for asking your question here on !

For this sort of problem, we'll use the equation y = k/x, which is for inverse variations. First, we'll need to solve for k.

4 = k/12

k = 48

Next, we'll need to plug k into our equation from the beginning, as well as 3 for x in order to solve for y.

y = 48/x

y = 48/3

y = 16

Therefore, your answer is y = 16.

Hope this helps!! :)

the solution is the point

step-by-step explanation:

we have

> equation a

> equation b

adds equation a and equation b

substitute the value of x in equation b to find the value of y
