The equation y = 40x shows the number of words Diego types in x minutes. What is
the constant of proportionality?

40

Step-by-step explanation:

i would say 40? because it will be a constant for how many times you do X. for example if it's Y = 40 (2) it would equal 80 because no matter what number you put in X 40 will have to be multiplied

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
