Charlie has 5 times as many stamps as Ryan  then C = 5R.

R + C = 1608. 
So we plug in for C 
R + 5R = 1608 
6R = 1608
R = 268

Now find Charlie by plugging in and we get 

268 + C = 1608 
C = 1340

Lets check our answer 
1340 = 5(268) yup we are right.

Why does.the equation y=3x+5 NOT represent a proportional relationship
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The equation not represent a proportional relationship because the line don't passes through the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line <u><em>and the line passes through the origin</em></u>

so

In this problem we have

y=3x+5

This is the equation of the line in slope intercept form

where

the slope is m=5

the y-intercept is b=5

Remember that in a proportional relationship the value of b must be equal to zero (because the line passes through the origin)

therefore

The equation not represent a proportional relationship because the line don't passes through the origin
