Answer:

a = 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y = ax be a linear equation, where x is the input variable and y is the output variable, then "a" is the proportionality constant between x and y.

To find the proportionality constant of the given equation, we must take it to the form y = ax.

We have:

2x = 10y

We divide both sides of the equation by 10.

0.2x = y

y = 0.2x.

Then the constant of proportionality is:

a = 0.2

Khan academy how to solve equations with fractions and mixed numbers

Rufina [12.5K]

Generally, you are told to approach these by "clearing fractions". That is, you generally multiply the equations by the least common denominator so all fractions and mixed numbers become integers.

Alternatively, you can simply do the arithmetic using the numbers given. You learned a long time ago how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide mixed numbers and fractions. Do these operations as necessary to solve the equations.
