First you would write the equation like this:
Yprop1/X^2
Then rewrite it as
Y=k/X^2 where K is the constant you are trying to find.
Plug in the values:
24=k/2^2
k=24*4
k=96

So your equation becomes:
Y=96/X^2

y=96/x^2

Explanation:

"the initial statement is "yprop1/x^2

"to convert to an equation multiply by k the constant"
"of variation"

rArry=kxx1/x^2=k/x^2

"to find k use the given condition"

"when "x=2,y=24

y=k/x^2rArrk=yx^2=24xx4=96

"equation is " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=96/x^2)color(white)(2/2)|)))
