X = additional mile
0.85x + 1.65 = 20
to solve it:
subtract 1.65 from both sides. afterwards, divide both sides by 0.85 to find x!
The constant of proportionality is the ratio between two directly proportional quantities. Two quantities are directly proportional when they increase and decrease at the same rate. The constant of proportionality k is given by k=y/x where y and x are two quantities that are directly proportional to each other.

number 6 : 6(4) = 24... + 12 = 36...36/2 = 18.....- 6 = 12
number 8 : 8(4) = 32....+ 12 = 44...44/2 = 22....- 6 = 16
number 12: 12(4) = 48....+ 12 = 60...60/2 = 30....-6 = 24
well...by following these steps, it appears the original number doubles as a result.
