Constant is the scale term in proportionality. Suppose one variable is dependent on the other and one variable become twice, other becomes also twice and if one becomes half, other too becomes half., but they are two different variables which are no-where linked (like cost(money) vs quantity). Quantity and cost are two different things but they abridge a mathematical relation of proportionality. So in the mathematics to abridge these two different variables, we need something. Constant serves that purpose.
Just "plug n chug" as my teacher would say. In other words, replace the letters with the values.
Choice A is (7,19) which means x = 7 and y = 19. Let's replace the x and y value with these numbers in both equations. If we get a true equation, then we found the answer.
2x-y = -5
2*7-19 = -5
14-19 = -5
-5 = -5 ... true
So that works. Let's try the other equation
x+3y = 22
7+3*19 = 22
7+57 = 22
64 = 22 ... false
So choice A is NOT the answer because of this. Let's try out choice B
2x-y = -5
2*4-9 = -5
-1 = -5 ... false
so B doesn't work either. How about C?
2x-y = -5
2*8-21 = -5
-5 = -5 ... that works
x+3y = 22
8+3*21 = 22
71 = 22 ... but this is false
So D has to be the answer. Let's check to confirm or not
2x-y = -5
2*1-7 = -5
-5 = -5 ... true
x+3y = 22
1+3*7 = 22
22 = 22 ... true
BOTH equations are true at the same time so (1,7) is definitely the final answer

Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
4-2x-4=-2-4
-2x=-6
\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{-6}{-2}
x=3

2.4<7
2.4 / 0.6 = 4
2.4 / 2.4 = 1
4.8<7
4.8 / 0.6 = 8
4.8 / 2.4 = 2
