Question 38 for My Algebra Final Review

The loudness L of a sound (measured in decibels, dB) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance d from the source of the sound. A person 10 ft from a lawnmower experiences a sound level of 70 dB. How loud is the lawn mower when the person is 50 ft away? (Set up and solve an equation of variation).
