Answer:
When x = 5, y = 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
y is inversely proportional to X.
This means that we solve this using the rule of three for inversely proportional variables, that is, we apply line multiplication instead of cross multiplication.
y = 20, x = 2
Work out y when x = 5
20 - 2
x - 5
Applying line multiplication
[tex]5y = 40[/tex]
[tex]y = \frac{40}{5}[/tex]
[tex]y = 8[/tex]
When x = 5, y = 8.
