x varies inversely with y.

\r\n" );
document.write( "That says  \r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "When x is 40, y is 50.
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "With that information we can determine k:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Multiply both sides by 50\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now we must substitute that value \r\n" );
document.write( "of k into \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now we have the complete equation.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now with that complete equation we can answer\r\n" );
document.write( "the other part:\r\n" );

\n" ); document.write( "What is y when x is 25?
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Substitute 25 for x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Multiply both sides by y\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
