Question

Solve the proportion and REDUCE​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 58/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use cross products to solve this problem

6                  7

---------- = -----------

14               x-3

6 * (x-3) = 7 * 14

Divide each side by 6

6 /6* (x-3) = 7 * 14/6

x-3 = 98/6

Add 3 to each side

x-3+3 = 98/6 +3

x = 98/6 +18/6

x = 116/6

Divide the top and bottom by 2

x =58/3
