Answer:
A function that changes the same way can be a linear function.
y = a*x + b.
Where the rate of change (this is, how much changes y when x increases or decreases) is defined by the coefficient a, that is constant.
for example, suppose that when x = x0, we have y = y0
y0 = a*x0 + b.
Now x0 increases by one unit, to (x0 + 1)
y = a*(x0 + 1) + b = (a*x0 + b) + a = y0 + a.
Then if x increases (or decreases) 1 unit, y increases (or decreases) a units.
Now, we can define the rate of change of a function as it's derivate with respect to some variable.
In this case, if we derive with respect to x, we have:
y' = a
Then the rate of change is constant.

<span>9a + -3(2a + -4) = 15
Reorder the terms:
9a + -3(-4 + 2a) = 15
9a + (-4 * -3 + 2a * -3) = 15
9a + (12 + -6a) = 15
Reorder the terms:
12 + 9a + -6a = 15
Combine like terms: 9a + -6a = 3a
12 + 3a = 15
Solving
12 + 3a = 15
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -12 + 3a = 15 + -12
Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + 3a = 15 + -12
3a = 15 + -12
Combine like terms: 15 + -12 = 3
3a = 3
Divide each side by '3'.
a = 1
Simplifying
a = 1</span>
