\n" ); document.write( " 8 x 32
\n" ); document.write( " 12 x x\r

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your solution might be better suited for x varies as v but not x varies inversely as v.
\n" ); document.write( "What is the inverse of v? 1/v
\n" ); document.write( "x varies inversely as v means x=k*1/v\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Our job is to find k knowing one x and v.
\n" ); document.write( "x=12 and v=8
\n" ); document.write( "x=k*1/v
\n" ); document.write( "12=k*1/8
\n" ); document.write( "k=96
\n" ); document.write( "We have the equation
\n" ); document.write( "x=96*1/v
\n" ); document.write( "x=96*1/32
\n" ); document.write( "solve for x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
