\frac{3}{2} = \frac{2x}{2x+y}

From any proportion, we get another proportion by inverting the extremes (or the means):

\frac{2x+y}{2} = \frac{2x}{3} = k

so we have:

2x=3k
2x+y=2k therefore:
3k+y=2k
y= - k

x=\frac{3}{2} k

\frac{x}{y} = - \frac{3}{2}

The corect answer is A. -3/2

or:

\frac{3}{2} = \frac{2x}{2x+y}

From any proportion, we get another proportion by inverting the extremes and the means:

\frac{2x+y}{2x} = \frac{2}{3}

We use a property of proportions:

\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}  where a, d are extremes and b,c are means and the product of the extremes equals the product of the means (a*d=b*c),

so we have

\frac{a-b}{b} = \frac{c-d}{d}  or

\frac{a+b}{b} = \frac{c+d}{d}  (you can check this also by "the product of the extremes equals the product of the means")

\frac{2x+y}{2x} = \frac{2}{3}

\frac{(2x+y)-2x}{2x} = \frac{2-3}{3}

\frac{y}{2x} = \frac{-1}{3}

3y = - 2x

\frac{x}{y} = -\frac{3}{2}

Julli [10]

Answer:

\displaystyle \frac{np}{m} = a

Step-by-step explanation:

You divide both sides by <em>m</em><em> </em>to get the above answer:

\displaystyle \frac{ma}{m} = \frac{np}{m} \\ \\ a = \frac{np}{m}

1. If 5x + 6 = 10, what is the value of 10x + 3?
Digiron [165]
Here the question is simple.
All because, we only need to find the value of x.
We are given two equations.
5x + 6 = 10 and 10x + 3 =?
So, we will find the the value of x in the first equation, so that we can substitute the value of x in the second one and there we are with the answer.
5x + 6 = 10
For finding the value of x, all we have to do is,
Transpose the number 6 to 10
Therefore. 5x = 10 - 6 ( Take the equal sign as The Magic Bridge on which if anyone crosses it , will change its sign.)
So we have,
5x = 4
So x = 4/5 ( Multiplication will change to division after crossing the equal sign)
( Doubtful? Substitute the value of x and try!)
Now that we got the value of x,
We can just simply substitute the value of x in the second equation.
10x + 3 = ?
x = 4/5
10*4/5 +3 => 5 and 10 get canceled to 2 at the numerator.
By normal multiplication and then addition, we will get,
8 + 3 = 11
Hope this helps!!!! :)
