    Think of two different states, 1 and 2. Write them down one on top of the other

    (P2)(V2) = (n2)R(T2)

    (P1)(V1) = (n1)R(T1)

    What you'll want to do is divide the two states as is.

    So if V2 = V1 and the system is closed so n1 = n2 those two terms cancel

    (P2)/(P1) = (T2)/(T1) when you divide (Gay-Lussac's Law)

    If the pressure is constant and a closed system P1 = P2 and n1 = n2

    V2/V1=T2/T1 (Charles Law)

    For constant temperature T2 = T1 and n1 = n2 for a closed system

    P2(V2)/P1(V1) = 1 or P2(V2) = P1(V1) (Boyle's Law)

    Of course if moles does change n1 and n2 will be different and just keep them in, and you'll have to be given how they are related.

    Don't fart in a crowded elevator. People don't like that.
