Given that Y varies inversely as the cube root of X-5 and Y = 3, X = 13 form an equation connecting X and Y.
----------
y+=+k%2Froot%283%2C%28x-5%29%29
3+=+k%2Froot%283%2C8%29+=+k%2F2
k = 6
--> y+=+6%2Froot%283%2C%28x-5%29%29
------------------
Hence find X when Y = 2
2+=+6%2Froot%283%2C%28x-5%29%29
root%283%2C%28x-5%29%29+=+3
x-5 = 27
x = 32
