Is the equation a proportuioanl relationship? x= 2y
prisoha [69]
A proportional change means that for every change in 1 value, it is accompanied by a change in another value that is the same every time. For example, with this, if x=1 then y=2*1=2. If we move x up 1 value to 2, y=2*2=4. Next, if we move x one more value up then 3*2=y=6. As you may notice, y adds up by 2 every time. In addition, you multiply the x value by the same number every time and only that number (no adding anything) and it is therefore a proportional equation

Jeremy has $1200 in spending money for the fall semester of college. He needs to purchase car insurance at $120 for 4 months, $2
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Jeremy Will have more than just $200 to spend on Christmas presents.

Explanation :

He has a total of $1200.

He spends a $120 for car insurance. (1)

He needs to spend $25 a week for lunch. He has to do this for 16 weeks so 25*16 = $400. (2)

He needs to spend $20 a week for entertainment. For 16 weeks that'll be 20*16 = $320 (3)

adding (1) (2) and (3)

We get Jeremy's total spending will be $840. Jeremy has $1200.

1200-840 = $360

So Jeremy will have $360 to spend on Christmas present.
