General inverse relationship:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+k%2Fx\"
\n" ); document.write( "where k is an unknown constant
\n" ); document.write( "Use initial values of w,z to solve for k then substitute that value into general equation.
\n" ); document.write( "\"w+=+k%2Fz\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"16+=+k%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply by 3 on both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"48+=+k\"
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore
\n" ); document.write( "\"w+=+48%2Fz\"
\n" ); document.write( "If z = 2
\n" ); document.write( "\"w+=+48%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"w+=+24\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
