Question

Solve for x: 4 over x equals 5 over 10

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 8,

Step-by-step explanation:

$\displaystyle \frac{4}{x} = \frac{5}{10}$.

$x \ne 0$ for it is a denominator. Multiply both sides with the product of the two denominators: $10\;x$:

$\displaystyle \frac{4}{x}\cdot (10\; x) = \frac{5}{10}\cdot (10\;x)$.

$40 = 5\; x$.

Multiply both sides by one over the coefficient of x:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{5} \times 40 = \frac{1}{5}\times 5\; x$.

$x = 8$.
