Question

Solve the proportion. 7/5=6/x + 4

Answer 1

we are given

$\frac{7}{5} =\frac{6}{x+4}$

we are given to solve for x

so, we isolate x on anyone side

step-1:

Multiply both sides by x+4

$\frac{7}{5}\times (x+4) =\frac{6}{x+4}\times (x+4)$

$\frac{7}{5}\times (x+4) =6$

step-2:

Multiply both sides by 5

$\frac{7}{5}\times (x+4)\times 5 =6\times 5$

$7 (x+4)=30$

step-3:

Distribute 7

$7x+28=30$

step-4:

Subtract both sides by 28

$7x+28-28=30-28$

$7x=2$

step-5:

Divide both sides by 7

$x=\frac{2}{7}$..............Answer
