Sonny substituted 5 for x in the proportion 16/x =48/12 and cross multiplied to get 240 = 240. Why is this?

1 answer:

4 0

16 / 5 = 48 / 12

16 * 12 = 5 * 48
192 = 240

which is incorrect so 5 cannot be the solution of the equation.

substituting 4 for x will give you 192=192

Answer:

$\boxed{\bf \cfrac{\boxed{c}}{\boxed{a }+ b}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\tt (x_1,y_1) : A (0,0)$

$\tt (x_2,y_2) : C (a+b, c)$

$\boxed{\tt Slope= \cfrac{y_2,y_1}{x_2,x_1}}$

$\tt \cfrac{c - 0}{a + b - 0}$

Add zero (Anything plus zero gives itself).

$\tt \cfrac{c}{a + b + 0}$

$\tt \cfrac{c}{a + b}$
