What is the value of x in the following proportion? 7/x-5 = 15/x+4

1 answer:

5 0

For this question you should first add -15/x on both sides of the equation and then add +5 on both sides:
7/x - 15/x = 5 + 4
-8/x = 9
so now you can multiply both sides by x:
-8 = 9x
now you should divide both sides by 9:
-8/9 = x :)))

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If CD and DE equal, then x+6 = 4x -21

So if you subtract x from both sides and plus 21 to both sides, that would be 3x = 27. Divide by 3 on both sides and you get 9.

Plug in x+6 with 9 and you get 15.

Answer: estimate 7

exact: 6 7/15

Step-by-step explanation: for the estimate round 3 4/5 to 4 and 2 2/3 to 3 and 4 + 3 = 7

for the exact number convert 3 4/5 to 3 12/15

and convert 2 2/3 to 2 10 /15

then add 3 + 2 = 5

and 12/15 + 10/15 = 22/15

convert 22/15 to a mixed number which is 1 7/15

then 5 + 1 7/15

answer 6 7/15
