They are both gas laws that relate to the volume of a gas.
Boyles law is an inverse relationship Charles law is a direct relationship. /

Boyle's law says that volume changes inversely with pressure

# P = 1/V # or # P_1 xx V_1 = P_2 xx V_2#

Charles law says that volume changes directly with absolute temperature

# V_1/T_1 = V_2/T_2# or # V_1 xx T_2 = V_2 xx T_1#

Both laws describe how the volume of a gas changes.

Boyles law states that as the pressure increases the volume decreases.

Charles law states that as the the absolute temperature increases the volume increases
