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 :)

andrezito [222]
N=1→f(n)=f(1)=-5.25 (First term)
f(n)=f(n-1)+1.75, for n=2, 3, 4, ...

Second term:
n=2→f(2)=f(2-1)+1.75=f(1)+1.75=-5.25+1.75→f(2)=-3.5

Third term:
n=3→f(3)=f(3-1)+1.75=f(2)+1.75=-3.5+1.75→f(3)=-1.75

Fourth term:
n=4→f(4)=f(4-1)+1.75=f(3)+1.75=-1.75+1.75→f(4)=0

Fifth term:
n=5→f(5)=f(5-1)+1.75=f(4)+1.75=0+1.75→f(5)=1.75
