What is the solution to the proportion? 5/x = 2/16

Mathematics
1 answer:
mixas84 [53]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

I believe the answer is X=40

Step-by-step explanation:

cross multiply 5*16 = X * 2

Multiply 5*16

80= X*2

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation

80 + -2x = 2x + -2x

Combine like terms

80 + -2x = 0

Add '-80' to each side of the equation.

80 + -80 + -2x = 0 + -80

Combine like terms: 80 + -80 = 0

0 + -2x = 0 + -80

-2x = 0 + -80

Combine like terms: 0 + -80 = -80

-2x = -80

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = 40

Simplifying

x = 40

Hope this helped :)

The image shows a ray of light bending at the boundary of a glass block. According to a law of optics, = n, where n is a constan
UkoKoshka [18]
The formula for the light bend would be n1*sin i= n2 * sin r

If you use "sin (90-x)= cos x" principle, you can change the sin in the equation into
n1*sin i= n2 * sin r
n1 * cos a= n2 * cos b
n2/n1= cos a/ cos b

Assuming the n constant is the ratio of the glass compared to water then the answer would be: cos a/ cos b
