Question

Find the value of x in this proportion. (x+3)/6=5/4 9/2 9/8 27/4 18

Answer 1

Answer:

$The\ value\ of\ x\ is\ \frac{9}{2}.$

Step-by-step explanation:

As the expression in the question as follows

$\frac{x + 3}{6} = \frac{5}{4}$

Now simplify the above

(x + 3) × 4 = 5 × 6

4x + 12 = 30

solving the above

4x = 30 - 12

4x = 18

$x = \frac{18}{4}$

$x = \frac{9}{2}$

$Therefore\ the\ value\ of\ x\ is\ \frac{9}{2}.$

Answer 2

Correct answer is A.

$\frac{x+3}{6} = \frac{5}{4} \\ \\4(x+3)=6\times 5 \\4x+12=30 \\4x=18 \\ \\x= \frac{18}{4} = \frac{9}{2}$
