Convention in algebra is that we use letters such as a, b, c, etc., for parameters and letters such as x, y z, and so on, for variables.
Thus the parameters here are a, b and k. k is the constant of proportionality.
Answer:
x=18, 96-24=72, x+3x=72, 4x=72, x=18

-3x+13=16
Move +13 to the other side. Sign changes from +13 to -13.
-3x+13-13=16-13
-3x=16-13
-3x=3
Divide by -3 for both sides.
-3/-3x=3/-3
Cross out -3 and -3, divide by -3, then becomes 1*1*x=x
x=-1
Answer: x=-1
