Answer:
<em>5</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
General equation of direct variation:
y = kx,
where k is the constant of proportionality.
In your case, you have
y = 5x, so 5 is the constant of proportionality.
Breaking apart means that you just take the tens from each number, and the ones from each number, then add them up.
The tens from your numbers are:
30 from 34
40 from 45
The ones from your numbers are:
4 from 34
5 from 45
Now, you have to add up the tens and ones separately.
30 + 40 = 70
4 + 5 = 9
Finally, you add up those 2 numbers that you got- 70 and 9
