Pressure, Volume & Temperature?
I am kinda confused in the relationships between them...
My teacher gave us three laws of gases:
Boyle's Law (P = k 1/V)
Charle's Law (V = k T)
Guy Lusacc (P = k T)
I am confused. If V = T and T = P then how is P equal to 1/V?? Shouldn't P = V.
What I am thinking wrong here? (I know that logically it makes sense but I just want to know where am I going wrong in that thinking process)

V = T and T = P are not true statements.
V is proportional to T and P is proportional to T. Also, P is proportional to 1/V
One thing that may confuse you is the use of K, K and K in the three laws. In truth, it should be k1, k2, and k3. The various constants have different values.
If you play with the three laws, you wind up at PV/T - k1k2k3
I do something like that here:
