The constant of proportionality is the slope of the line.
The slope is the change in y over the change in x
Using two pints on the line:
Slope = (3-0) / (1-0) = 3/1 = 3
The answer is 3
You would have to set you problem up like
x 40
____=_____
720 100
you would multiply 40 by 720 then you would divide 28,800 by 100 your answer will be 288.
Multiply (x/6) by 6 to get common denominators and then you can simplify equation to 6x=15, divide each side by 6 answer is x=2.5 or 5/2
Answer:
The smaller number equals 12, the larger number equals 51.
Step-by-step explanation:
x + (3x + 15) = 63
Combine like terms.
4x + 15 = 63
Subtract 15 from both sides.
4x + (15 -15) = (63 - 15)
4x = 48
Divide both sides by 4.
4x/4 = 48/4
x = 12
Check answer.
12 + (3(12) + 15) = 63
12 + 36 + 15 = 63
63 = 63
