a) As the constants are equal, the situation represents a proportional relationship.
b) The constant of 2/3 cupcakes per minute means that in a minute, 2/3 of a cupcake is made.
<h3>What is a proportional relationship?</h3>
A proportional relationship is a function in which the output variable is given by the input variable multiplied by a constant of proportionality, that is:
y = kx
In which k is the constant of proportionality.
In this problem, the constants for each situation are:
k = 30/45 = (30/15)/(45/15) = 2/3 = 20/30.
Since the constants are equal, the situation represents a proportional relationship.
The constant of 2/3 cupcakes per minute means that in a minute, 2/3 of a cupcake is made.

Expand
simplify x - 5x + 35 to -4x + 35
subtract 35 from both sides
simplify -7 - 35 to -42
divide both sides by -4
two negatives make a positive
simplify 42/4 to 21/2
Answer: x = 21/2.
Formula:
x + 2(x+1) = 17
x + 2x + 2 = 17
3x + 2 = 17
3x = 15
x = 5
So, the answer is 5 and 6
Hope this helped!
Disagree.
b/8 = 56; multiply both sides by 8 to solve for b, and you get b = 448
Answer:
The equation of the line is y = 1/4x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find this, start with two points that are on the line. We'll use (0, -4) and (4, -3). Now we can use the slope formula to find the slope.
m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-4 - -3)/(0 - 4)
m = -1/-4
m = 1/4
Now that we have this, we can use that slope and a point in point-slope form. Then we solve for y to get the equation.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - -4 = 1/4(x - 0)
y + 4 = 1/4x
y = 1/4x - 4
