Answer:
Yes, Cam's costs proportional to the number of votes he receives.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that Cam is a corrupt politician. Nobody votes for him except those he pays to do so. It costs Cam exactly $100 to buy each vote.
Let the number of votes he get be x.
Then the total cost of Cam is
... (1)
Where, C is Cam's costs and x is number of votes he receives.
Two variables are proportional to each other if
... (2)
Where k is constant of proportionality.
Since equation (1) and (2) and similar and the constant of proportionality is 100, therefore we say that Cam's costs proportional to the number of votes he receives.

Answer:
w = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, w. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:
Parenthesis
Exponents (& Roots)
Multiplications
Divisions
Additions
Subtractions

First, subtract 13 from both sides of the equation:
4w + 13 (-13) = 81 (-13)
4w = 81 - 13
4w = 68
Next, divide 4 from both sides of the equation:
(4w)/4 = (68)/4
w = 68/4
w = 17
w = 17 is your answer.

The 3rd 1 am not sure though
Answer:
X = -1/2 or 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
When the square root of a number is found, this usually results in 2 solutions which may be equal in size but opposite in signs.
As such,
X^2=1 to find x find the root of both sides
X = √1
X = -1 or 1
Going by this
4x^2=1
Divide both sides by 4
X^2=1 /4
taking the square root of both sides
X = √1/4
The root of 1 is -1 or 1 while that of 4 is -2 or 2 hence,
X = -1/2 or 1/2
