A proportion is two ratios equivalent to each other
Y should also be halved.
For example, if x=4 and y=2, x=2y.
If x is halved for x=2, you get 2=2y, or y=1, which is still one half of x, so the proportion remains the same.
2 = 2(-3) + 8
2 = -6 + 8
2 = 2
true.
2 = 3 + 1
2 = 4
false.
this is not a solution because both equations have to be true.
I think the answer would be D
