In 36 years, amy will be 3 times as old as she is right now. how old is she now?

When x = 7, y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

According to question,

y ∝ 1 / x

To remove proportionality, include a constant. Let the constant be k.

y = k × (1 / x)

Now, we know that y = 7 when x = -2

y = k × (1 / x)

7 = k × (1 / -2)

k = -14

The equation now becomes,

y = -14 × (1 / x)

Now, we need to find y when x = 7.

y = -14 × (1 / 7)

y = -2

So, when x = 7, y = -2.
