This can be expressed as:
where k is the contant of variation.
To find out what happens to x when s is doubled, substitute s = 2s.
Substitute
X quadruples when s is doubled.
TO find out what happens to x when both s and t are doubled, substitute s = 2s and t = 2t.
Substitute
x is doubled when both s and t are doubled.
