Which numbers are the means of the proportion shown below 2/3 = 20/30
2 answers:
A <u>proportion</u> is simply a statement that two <u>ratios</u> are equal. In problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. To find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the <u>extremes</u>, and the middle terms, called the <u>means</u>.
Consider given proportion
Here, 2 and 30 are the extremes and 3 and 20 are the means.
Answer: the means are 3 and 20.

Answer:
a= 2x <u><em>(edit: i just forgot it should be a integer x.x, forgive my blondiness)</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
usually when doing equations like that, you can separate one of the parenthesis with 0
(in this case, we will use (2x-a) )
Then create a equation, which should look like:
2x-a=0
Then solve for a
Answer:
4x - 3y -18 = 0 or y = 4x/3 - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
We will have to find the slope of the line first
The formula for slope:
The standard form of equation of a line is:
y = mx + b
We know m,
So the equation will be:
We have to find the value of b, for that we will put any one of the point in the equation
So, putting (6,2)
2 = 4/3 * 6 + b
2 = 8 +b
b = -6
Putting the value of m and b in the standard form of equation of line,
