First, Divide by 3 on both sides.
So 3x=12 will turn to 3x/3=12/3
Which isolates the variable x and the answer: x= 4
Answer:
Constant of proportionality is 12
The cost of buying new bicycle changes 12 dollar per week
Step-by-step explanation:
we are given
The equation as

where
d represents the amount in dollars
w is number of weeks
now, we can compare it with

where
k is constant of proportionality
we can compare
and we get
k=12
So,
Constant of proportionality is 12
we can see that

So,
The cost of buying new bicycle changes 12 dollar per week
-3x + 9 - 4 = x + 3 + 2x
-3x + 9 - 4 = 3x + 3
9 - 4 = 6x + 3
5 = 6x + 3
2 = 6x
1/3 = x
