The way I like to solve proportions is by cross multiplying and dividing. First yo multiply the diagonals and then you divide by the other number. So if your proportion is 7/5 = x/3, your equation would be 7*3/5.  So 7*3 is 21, so your equation is now 21/5.  With some long division, you'll see that 21/5 = 4.2  That's your answer, feel free to ask more questions if you need!!(:

7/5=x/3
so multiply them diagonally. 7*3=21 and 5*x=5x
5x=21
divide it by 5
so....
5x/5=21/5
x=4.2

If the following system of equations was written as a matrix equation in the form AX = C, and matrix A was expressed in the form
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: a-b+c+d =4


Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equation is

2x+8y=7\\4x-2y=9

from this we have the following matrices

A_1 =\begin{bmatrix}\\2 &8 \\ \\4&2 \\\end{bmatrix}\ ,X=\begin{bmatrix}\\x\\ \\y\\\end{bmatrix}\text{and}\ C=\begin{bmatrix}\\7\\ \\9\\\end{bmatrix}

the given matrix A =\begin{bmatrix}\\a &c \\ \\b &d \\\end{bmatrix}

On comparing Matrix  A_1 with Matrix A

\begin{bmatrix}\\a &c \\ \\b &d \\\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}\\2&8 \\ \\4 &-2 \\\end{bmatrix}

we have the following values

a=2 ,b=4,c=8,d=-2

Thus a-b+c+d =2-4+8+(-2)=4
