Ok, to solve this first you have to set up your proportion:
9/150=x/230
/ is a fraction
x= the number of vials it will take to treat 230 patients
in order to solve this, you have to cross multiply:
9 x 230= 2070
150 · x= 150x
so you get 150x=2070
then divide 2070 by 150
2070/150= 13.8
so it would take 13.8 vials of medicine to treat 230 patients

Whats not affected by the
others outcome
So first, you need to identify the parts of this equation.
3x is the slope of the line, which is
.
-5 is the y-intercept. or the part of the line that touches the y-axis.
The first thing you want to do is plot the y-intercept. SO, go to the y-axis and find -5. Plot your point there.
Now, use the slope
to find your next plot. Since slope is
, you go up three, and over to the right one.
Now, draw a line connecting the dots. Your slope should be positive and look like > /
