The mathematical equation for Boyle's law is PV = k or you could say P1V1=P2V2.

P IS the pressure of the system.

V is the volume of the gas.

k is a constant value representative of the pressure and volume of the system.

**It just states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional when temperature is held constant (does not change). In other words, as volume increases pressure decreases and vice-versa (when temperature is constant).**

Also, an easy way to remember all of the laws (Boyle's, Charles', and Gay-Lussac's) is to remember one equation: The Ideal Gas Equation, which happens to be PV=nRT. P=pressure, V=volume, n=number of moles, R=constant (varies with certain units, for example, when using torrs or mm Hg it would equal 62.4), and T=temperature. You can make basic assumptions from this equation, for example, you know that when temperature is held constant that if pressure increases volume must decrease (which happens to be Boyle's Law).

How are Boyles law and Charles law alike?

Boyles Law deals with conditions of constant temperature. Charles' Law deals with conditions of constant pressure. From the ideal gas law of PV = nRT, when temperature is constant (Boyles Law), this can be rearranged to P1V1 = P2V2 (assuming constant number of moles of gas). When pressure is constant, it can be rearranged to V1/T1 = V2/T2 (assuming constant number of moles of gas).
