Using the cross product property on this proportion gives us the following equation:
20 (2x - 9) = 10 (9)
Use the distributive property and multiply
40x - 180 = 90
Add 180 to both sides
40x = 270
Divide 40 from both sides
x = 270/40
Simplify fraction
x = 27/4
This should be your answer. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
Answer:
x = 8 and y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 3y = 1 --(1)
x + 2y = 18
x = 18 - 2y --(2)
sub (2) into (1):
2(18 - 2y) - 3y = 1
36 - 4y - 3y = 1
-7y = 1 -36
7y = 35
y = 5
x = 18 - 2(5) = 8
