answer and explanation

we know that Boyle's law states that the volume of a gas at a constant temperature varies inversely with pressure exerted on it. mathematically this can be described by:

PV= k

and we know that Charle's law states that the volume occupied by a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, if the Pressure remains constant. mathematically this is

V/T = k

these can be combined to give the combined gas law which basically states that as long as the amount of gas doesn't change, the ratio between Volume-Pressure and Temperature of a system is constant.

mathematically this can be represented as:

k = PV/T
