Answer:
Yes, it is a proportional relationship!
Step-by-step explanation:
Proportional and linear functions are almost identical in form. The only difference is the addition of the “b” constant to the linear function. Indeed, a proportional relationship is just a linear relationship where b = 0, or to put it another way, where the line passes through the origin
1 Subtract 22 from both sides
13x=4x+38-213x=4x+38−2
2 Simplify 4x+38-24x+38−2 to 4x+364x+36
13x=4x+3613x=4x+36
3 Subtract 4x4x from both sides
13x-4x=3613x−4x=36
4 Simplify 13x-4x13x−4x to 9x9x
9x=369x=36
5 Divide both sides by 99
x=\frac{36}{9}x=
9
36
6 Simplify \frac{36}{9}
9
36
to 44
x=4x=4
3x=8
Solve for x by dividing by 3 on both sides
x=8/3
Now plug 8/3 in for x in second equation
3(8/3)+y=15
This gives you
8+y=15
Subtract by 8 on both sides to find y
y=8
Now write it in ordered pair form (x,y)
So your answer is (8/3,8)
