Answer by timofer(105) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Worded as joint and inverse variation problem.
You can take which way variables being assigned, but
Description for question means to keep k and v unchanged but want 3h.
Showing that to use of the original r value.

The formula described in your post, is FATALLY INCORRECT.
It CONTRADICTS to BASIC Physics laws.
The correct formula is THIS (the Joule's law in Physics)
The formula for heat generated by electrical resistance per unit of time, using voltage (V) and resistance (R),
is H = (V^2/R), where H is the heat generated, V is the voltage, R is the resistance.
Do not disseminate wrong information in the Internet.
Your professor (if exists), who created the formulation in the post, does not know the basics of Science.
Note: I specially wrote " if exists " in my post, since I 99% sure
that such a " professor " does not exist in the nature.
Because if such a professor existed,
he (or she) would have been kicked out from everywhere long time ago
for his or her TOTAL and GLOBAL illiteracy.
This " problem " is a FAKE.
It does not require to be solved.
It requires to be thrown to the closest garbage bin.
And a serious categorical warning should be issued to the author for creating
and disseminating in the Internet " problems " in areas where he/she does understand NOTHING.
