Hello! 

To try to answer your question in short, to adhere to the cumulative property switching the numbers must equal the same thing. ie. 2+3=5 same as 3+2=5
and 3*2=6 same as 2*3=6

this breaks down though for subtraction and division. 3-2=1 but 2-3=-1 and same for division, 4/2=2 but 2/4= 1/2  

I hope this helps! Any questions please just ask! Thank you so much!

PLEASE HELPPPP!!!!!!
Sloan [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

y=kx

say that y is the original prince and x is the sale price

15=k(10)

15/10=k

3/2=k

you can check with the next problem to check if it is the same

25=k(20)

25/20=k

5/4=k

so you take 5/4-3/2=-1/4 so the constant is -1/4

Hope that helps :)
