((P1)(V1))/(T1)=((P2)(V2))/(T2) is directly related to the ideal gas law.

The ideal gas law states that:
PV=nRT. Rewriting this gives:
(PV)/(T)=nR. R is the universal gas constant, so its value is fixed. For a given sample, n is the number of moles of the gas, so its value would be fixed too. This means that the value of
(PV)/(T) would be a fixed constant as well. Therefore, whatever the initial value
((P1)(V1))/(T1) is, it should be equal to the final value
((P2)(V2))/(T2).
