Why do you cross-multiply when you solve proportions?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Llana [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:  The reason you cross multiply fractions is to compare them. Cross multiplying fractions tells us if the two fractions are equal or which one is greater. This is especially useful when you are working with larger fractions that you aren't sure how to reduce.

It works cause they have the same denominator

Just by looking at it, 2 seems to be the correct answer. I mean if you think about it, when the triangle is split in two smaller triangles, side LN is longer than LP so that means x needs to be a small number. I could either be 2 or 1. Well if you look at the big picture, side LM is longer than LN so it’s gonna need to be bigger. If you say x=1 then you are saying 2(1) +4 = 6 (therefore LM is 6) but if you say x=2 then you are saying 2(2) +4 = 8 which makes more sense


If x=2 then you can use the Pythagorean’s theorem

a2 + b2 = c2
4^2 + b^2 = 5^2
16 + b^2 = 25
25-16= 9
b^2= 9
b= 3


Now that we know what NP is we can do Pythagorean’s theorem to figure out what side LP is (we already know it but you can do it again to check lol)

So the answer is 2

Solve for x. 8(9x-4)-2=3+2
gavmur [86]
So first you have to move the -2 over to the opposite side.
8(9x-4)=3+2+2
Then you can simplify the right side 
8(9x-4)=7
Then you distribute
8*9x=72x
8*-4=-32
so now you have...
72x-32=7
Then you move the 37 over
72x=39
Then you divide by 72 to isolate x
x=39/72 or x= 13/24 or <span>x=0.54167</span>

In the given figure, BAC = 90° and ABC = 45°. Prove that: AB = AC. ​
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

<h2>By angle sum property:</h2>

BAC+ABC+BCA=180°

90°+45°+x=180°

135°+x=180°

x=45°=BCA

<h2>since BCA=ABC=<u> </u>45° each </h2><h2>therefore,</h2>

AB=AC \\ (isosceles \: triangle \:  \\ theorem)
