Explanation:
P = 8
Explanation:
Given that P varies inversely with x then the equation relating them is
P = \frac{k}{x} ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition P = 7 when x = 8 , then
7 = \frac{k}{8} ( multiply both sides by 8 )
56 = k
P = \frac{56}{x} ← equation of variation
When x = 7 , then
P = \frac{56}{7} = 8
