B: the relationship is proportional
Given :
Nathan smiled at 50 people one day and recorded that 36 people smiled back at him.
To Find :
How many people should Nathan expect to return a smile if he smiles at 650 people over a period of time.
Solution :
Ratio of people smiled by total number of people is :

Now, it is given that we have to use the given conditions.
Therefore, ratio will be same :

Therefore, number of smiles Nathan expect to return is 468.
Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-4=x+8
2x-x=4+8
1x=12
12/1=12
12=x
Number: n
square of number: n^2
sum of n and n^2 is n+n^2=20
Rewriting this equation, we get n^2+n-20=0 = (n+5)(n-4) = 0
Then n+5=0 and n-4=0, so n = -5 and n = 4.
You must check both results. It could happen that both are correct, or that only one is correct.
