Answer
$y=30$
Work Step by Step
To find out the solution we need to follow the 3-step procedure,
Step (1). As $y$ varies inversely as $x$, we have
$y=\frac{k}{x}$
Here $k$ is a constant.
Step (2)
Substitute $x=5$ and $y=12$ in $y=\frac{k}{x}$.
$\begin{align}
& 12=\frac{k}{5} \\
& 60=k \\
& k=60 \\
\end{align}$
Step (3). Substitute $k=60$ and x = 2 in $y=\frac{k}{x}$ .
$\begin{align}
& y=\frac{60}{2} \\
& y=30 \\
\end{align}$
