There are 3 cans that store 9 tennis balls. consider the number of balls per can. find the constant of proportionality for this situation. write an equation to represent the relationship.

So 3 cans can store 9 tennis balls and if you want to distribute them evenly, then you would set up an equation. 3x for the 3 cans and the 9 is the amount of tennis balls. 3x=9 would be the equation and to get x alone, then you divide the entire problem by 3 and x would equal 3. 1 can gets 3 balls

38+105= 143, 39+104=143, and you will find then adding the numbers on opposite sides, moving inwards yields the answer 138 every time. because of this, you’re going to multiply 138 times the number of pairs, which is 34. therefore, 34*138= 4692(i’m sorry if it’s the wrong numbers, but it’s the right concept)
