The first blank is proportional because <span>two quantities is one in which the two quantities vary directly with one and other. </span>If<span> one item is doubled, the other, related item is also doubled. Because of this, it is also called a direct variation. </span>
That would be written as:
And the step-by-step equation would be:
→ we take the 2 to the right side of the equation and do the IO*
→we solve for
→ final answer
*Ps - IO is not an existing term and stands for inverse operation. In this case, because when we take to 2 to the right side of the equation (the 2 is a power) it'll have to turn into a square root (because exponents and roots are inverse operations)
Hope it helped,
