Given the statement:
The variable z is inversely proportional to x. When x is 3, z has the value 2.
Determine the value of z when x = 13
Explanation:
It can be seen that the value of z decreases by 1 as the value of x increases, when x = 3, z = 2. When x = 13, we can say that it has decrease by 13 starting from 2, therefore z = - 11
Final answer:
z =- 11
