Solve each proportion

Hello.

In order to solve a proportion, you should cross-multiply:

$\displaystyle\frac{7}{x} =\frac{5}{9}$

Multiply 7 times 9 and 5 times x:

5x=63

Divide both sides by 5:

x= $\displaystyle\frac{63}{5}$

Now let's solve the second proportion.

Multiply 8p times 6 and 12 times 15:

48p=180

Divide both sides by 48:

p=3.75

I hope it helps.

Have an outstanding day.

Find the vertex of an angle of an isosceles triangle if one base angle is 8 less than half the vertex?

skad [1K]

Vertex angle = x
1 base angle = 1/2x - 8

180-x = (1/2x-8)x2
180-x = x-16
196-x = x
196 = 2x
x=98

If you want explanation please ask me .
