Two siblings' ages have a sum of 64 years. The older sibling was born 6 years before their young sibling.

Hi!

So we have to make a system of equations here.

Let sibling 1 be O and sibling 2 be Y (for older and younger)

So:

O + Y = 64

O = 64 - Y

(Either one works)

The older sibling is 6 years older.

O = Y + 6

Make everything in terms of Y.

64 - Y = Y + 6

Same to both:

58 = 2y

2y = 58

Divide by 2 on both sides:

y = 29

Since the older sibling is 6 years older:

29 + 6 = 35

Y = 29

O = 35

Let me know if you have any questions.

I thought this would be simple, as I'm familiar with algebra and not really "The constant of proportionality," but I will do my best.

So this said "Constant of proportionality," is referring to basically the answers for the equation when X equals certain numbers.

Make a table of different answers when you plug in X and you get the 'Constant of proportionality.'

y = 2.5x + 3
y = 2.5(1) + 3
y = 2.5 + 3
y = 5.5

Since we plugged in 1 for X and got 5.5 for Y, our input and output is (1, 5.5)

Replace X for a different value, and you will get a bunch of different numbers that will in essence be your function inputs and outputs.  Make a table of these and you have your answer.

EXAMPLE - 
-= x =-   -= y =-
-= 1 =-   -= 5.5 =-
-= 2 =-   -= 8 =-
-= 3 =-   -= 11.5 =-
-= 4 =-   -= 13 =-


So there you have it.  I hope this helps!  If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.
