Question

Solve each proportion using cross product property

Answer 1

Using the cross product property on this proportion gives us the following equation:

6 (3x + 3) = 7 (x + 16)

Use the distributive property

18x + 18 = 7x + 112

Subtract both sides by 7x

11x + 18 = 112

Subtract both sides by 18

11x = 94

Divide both sides by 11

x = 94/11

This fraction is already fully simplified and cannot be simplified further. This should be your answer.
