a constant of proportionality is a number you have to multiply x by to get y.
y=kx is the equation that expresses the proportionality of x and y
in this case, 10 video games cost $145
the question's basically asking what you have to multiply 10 by to get 145
y= 145; x=10
k= y/x = 145/10=14.5
the constant of proportionality is 14.5
Answer:
the cat weighs 21 pounds.
the dog weighs 43 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
dog = 3x-20 = x + 22
cat = x
3x-20 = x+22
3x = x+42 (add 20 to both sides)
2x = 42 (subtract x from both sides)
x = 21
When they leave home, odometer reads 12,544.....when they arrive in Winterton, the odometer reads 12,671.....this means they have already driven (12,671 - 12,544) = 127 miles.....and now they have 48 more miles to go......so the trip to Sandy Shores from Summerville is (127 + 48) = 175 miles
