You could use the proportion 3:1.

Per 3 feet, there is 1 yard.

For every 3 feet, there is an additional yard.

The ratio is 3 to 1, or 3:1

Factor completely by grouping 3u^2+8u-3

stich3 [128]

3u^2+8u-3
with grouping, we have to find 2 numbers which add up to 8 and multiply to 3*(-3)= -9.
testing, we find that 9 and -1 add up to 8 and multiply to -9.
so now we can write the original equation as
3u^2-u+9u-3
you can factor the terms in pairs:
u(3u-1)+3(3u-1)=
(u+3)(3u-1)

Real word problem ⇒ constant of proportionality

$4.16 for 4 pounds of bananas ⇒ 1.04

$16.48 for 8 pounds of potatoes ⇒ 2.06

$18.36 for 2 pizzas ⇒ 9.18

2 cups of flour to make 36 cookies ⇒ 18

Solution:

A proportional relationship is one in which two quantities vary directly with each other.

We say the variable y varies directly as x,
