Let x represent the number of tiles that Joshua can buy at either stores.
one store for $0.99 per tile but he he will have to rent a tile saw for $25. Let the total cost of buying x tiles in this store be y. Therefore
y = 0.99x + 25
At another store, he can buy a tile for $1.50 per tile and borrow a tile saw for free. Let the total cost of buying x tiles in this store be z. Therefore
z = 1.5x
To determine the number of tiles for which both costs will be the same, we will equate y to z. It becomes
Step-by-step explanation: Well yes it is proportional because it goes through the orgin and that is what it is if it goes through the orgin (0,0) it means it has a proportional relationship hope this helped:)
