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 :)

NEED URGENT HELP!
sp2606 [1]
(3,9)(5,15)
slope = (15 - 9) / (5 - 3) = 6/2 = 3

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3
(3,9)...x = 3 and y = 9
sub and find b, the y int
9 = 3(3) + b
9 = 9 + b
9 - 9 = b
0 = b

so ur equation is : y = 3x + 0....can be written as y = 3x.

after 12 months...
y = 3x...x = 12
y = 3(12)
y = 36 inches

I believe it's not a function because the input (x) 4 has two outputs(y), 2 and 8.

Can you help me solve for x?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles

10x-10 = 60 +4x+2

Combine like terms

10x-10 = 62+4x

Subtract 4x from each side

10x-4x -10 = 62 +4x-4x

6x -10 = 62

Add 10 to each side

6x-10+10 = 62+10

6x= 72

Divide by 6

6x/6 = 72/6

x = 12
