Answer:
x ≈ 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given y varies inversely with x then the equation relating them is
y = [tex]\frac{k}{x}[/tex] ← k is the constant of variation
Here k = 76 and y = 17 , thus
17 = [tex]\frac{76}{x}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by x )
17x = 76 ( divide both sides by 17 )
x ≈ 4.5 ( to the nearest tenth )
