Answer:

a proportional relationship exists if the ratio of values is a constant

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation describing a proportional relationship is ...

y = kx

If you are given a table of values of x and y, they will be proportional if ...

y/x = k

for all (x, y) pairs.

An arithmetic sequence with a third term of 8 and a constant difference of 5

Vanyuwa [196]

$\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence} \\\\ a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad \begin{cases} n=n^{th}\ term\\ a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\ d=\textit{common difference}\\ \hrulefill\\[0.5em] a_3=8\\ n=3\\ d=5 \end{cases} \\\\\\ a_3=a_1+(3-1)5\implies 8=a_1+(2)5 \\\\\\ 8=a_1+10\implies -2=a_1 \\\\\\ \begin{cases} a_1=-2\\ d=5 \end{cases}\implies a_n=-2+(n-1)d$

The Trollis brothers were building a brick step from their mom's back door to her back patio.The width of the step was 14 inches

DanielleElmas [232]

Since volume=length*width*height you can set up the problem like
v=14*(3*14)*10
after multiplying all that you get
v=5880 inches cubed
