It would be, 5+(-7) = 5-7 = -2
B)Option B is your answer........
The answer is: No, because we also need to know the type of proportionality
In mathematics, we talk about proportionality when two variables are related and this relationship is that there is a constant ratio between them. There are two types of proportionality.
1. Direct Proportionality:
If there are two variables x and y, we can write the relationship between them as follows:

So, by substituting the point in this equation we have that the constant of proportionality is:

2. Inverse Proportionality:
In this case, the relationship is:

So, the constant of proportionality is:

As you can see, we have found two different values of the constant of proportionality. So, it is necessary to know the type of proportionality.
The answer is: The diameter is 4 centimeters.
The explanation is shown below:
1. The volume of the cylinder is:

Where
is the radius (
) and
is the height (
).
Then:
2. The total volume of the 12 spheres is:

3. The volume of the cylinder and the total volume of all the 12 spheres, are equal, therefore:

4. Now, you must solve for the radius:
![r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{128\pi}{16\pi}}\\r=2cm](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B128%5Cpi%7D%7B16%5Cpi%7D%7D%5C%5Cr%3D2cm)
5. The diameter is:
