If y varies inversely as x and y, y= 15 when x= 10. Find the y value when x= 35.

[tex] \\ y = \frac{k}{x} \\ [/tex]

Evaluate the given values

[tex] \\ 15 = \frac{k}{10} \\ [/tex]

Multiply 10 to both sides

[tex] \\ (10)(15) = \frac{k}{10} (10) \\ [/tex]

Cancel both 10 from the right side

[tex] \\ (10)(15) = \frac{k}{ \cancel{10}} ( \cancel{10}) \\ [/tex]

Multiply 10 by 15

[tex] \\ \boxed{k = 150} \\ \\ [/tex]

Finding the value of y when x= 35 and use k=150.

[tex] \\ y = \frac{k}{x} \\ [/tex]

Evaluate values

[tex] \\ y = \frac{150}{35} \\ [/tex]

Simplify

[tex] \\ \boxed{ \green{ \sf{y = \frac{30}{7} }}} \\ \\ \\ [/tex]
