A ball weighs 15lb on earth and 5.7 pounds on mars. What is the constant proportionality between weight of an object on mars and

krok68 [10]

So its asking you to find the gravity on earth relative to the gravity on mars.

Set up an equation to figure out the difference between the two gravities

$15x=5.7
\\x=5.7/15$
x=.38

I don't know what constant of proportionality is in this context but a ball on mars would weigh .38 the amount that it does on earth.

vitfil [10]

Answer:

$x>24$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's re-write it multiplied by -2 on each side, the denominator will disappear and we'll have our x positive:

$x>24$

Remember: if you multiply a inequality for a negative number, change the sign to its opposite, for example the < become the >
