I thought this would be simple, as I'm familiar with algebra and not really "The constant of proportionality," but I will do my best.

So this said "Constant of proportionality," is referring to basically the answers for the equation when X equals certain numbers.

Make a table of different answers when you plug in X and you get the 'Constant of proportionality.'

y = 2.5x + 3
y = 2.5(1) + 3
y = 2.5 + 3
y = 5.5

Since we plugged in 1 for X and got 5.5 for Y, our input and output is (1, 5.5)

Replace X for a different value, and you will get a bunch of different numbers that will in essence be your function inputs and outputs. Make a table of these and you have your answer.

EXAMPLE -
-= x =- -= y =-
-= 1 =- -= 5.5 =-
-= 2 =- -= 8 =-
-= 3 =- -= 11.5 =-
-= 4 =- -= 13 =-

So there you have it. I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.

What are the solutions of the equation ( X -25 )^ 2 equals 36

fgiga [73]

Answer:

x = 31, x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

$(x-25)^2=36\\\sqrt{(x-25)^2}=\sqrt{36}\\x-25=6 or -6\\\\x-25=6\\x=31\\\\x-25=-6\\x=19$
