Answer:
y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
given that y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is
y = [tex]\frac{k}{x}[/tex] ← k is the constant of variation
to find k use the condition y = 12 when x = 6
12 = [tex]\frac{k}{6}[/tex] ← multiply both sides by 6 to clear the fraction
72 = k
y = [tex]\frac{72}{x}[/tex] ← equation of variation
when x = 8 , then
y = [tex]\frac{72}{8}[/tex] = 9
