Hey there! :)

Answer:

x = 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the two proportions equal to each other:

\frac{5}{x}  = \frac{30}{72}

Cross multiply to solve for x:

5 · 72 = 30 · x

360 = 30x

Divide both sides by 30:

360/30 = 30x/30

12 = x.

Therefore, the value of 'x' in this proportion is 12.

<span>Pick </span>any<span> pair of integers a and b where b ≠ 0.</span>
Then 2b-ad is and integer, as is bd so that (2b - ad)/bd is a fraction.

Consider the fractions a/b and (2b - ad)/bd

<span>Their sum is </span>
a/b + (2b-ad)/bd = ad/bd + (2b-ad)/bd = 2b/bd = 2/d - as required.
