Question

Cross product property

Answer 1

Using the cross product property on this proportion gives us the following equation:

20 (2x - 9) = 10 (9)

Use the distributive property and multiply

40x - 180 = 90

Add 180 to both sides

40x = 270

Divide 40 from both sides

x = 270/40

Simplify fraction

x = 27/4

This should be your answer. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
