Answer:

T=C*P*V

Explanation:

It is said that a variable - let's call 'y' -, is proportional to another - let's call it 'x' - if x and y are multiplicatively connected to a constant 'C'. It means that their product (x*y) can be always equaled to the constant 'C' or their division (\frac{x}{y}) can be always equaled to 'C'. The first case is the case of the inverse proportionality: It is said that x and y are inversely proportional if

x*y=C

The second case is the case of the direct proportionality: It is said that x and y are directly proportional if

\frac{x}{y} =C : x is directly proportional to y.

or

\frac{y}{x} =C : y is directly proportional to x.

Always that any text does not specify about directly or inversely proportionality, it is assumed to mean directly automatically.

For our case, we are said that the temperature T is proportional to the pressure P and the volume V (we assume that it means directly); it is a double proportionality but follows the same rules:

If T were just proportional to P, we would have:

\frac{T}{P} =C

If T were just proportional to V, we would have:

\frac{T}{V} =C

As T is proportional to both P and V, the right equation is:

\frac{T}{P*V}=C

In order to isolate the temperature, let's multiply (P*V) at each side of the equation:

\frac{T}{P*V}*(P*V)=C*(P*V)\\T=C*P*V

How could the action force of a canoe moving through water be increased?.
BaLLatris [955]
There are several actions that can be used to increase the action force of a canoe that is moving through water. One can increase the rate of striking or strike harder than before with a bigger paddle. Using a lighter canoe can also be helpful for increasing the speed. I hope the answer comes to your help.

Misha Larkins [42]
<span>Cells with similar preferences are arranged closer together in the auditory cortex. </span>That statement presented is True. Auditory cortex is in the temporal lobe. It processes auditory information in human and as well as other invertebrates. The neurons inside the auditory cortex are organized depends on the frequency of the sound.

What's the difference and similarity between O2 and 2 O ?
nasty-shy [4]
O2 refers to two oxygen atoms bonded together, while 2 O refers to two oxygen atoms that are not bonded to each other. They both have two oxygen atoms, but in O2, the oxygen atoms are bonded, while in 2O, the atoms are not.
