Question

Solve the proportion. 17/15 = 10/2x-2

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 8\frac{1}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{17}{15} =\frac{10}{2x-2}$

$17 ( 2x - 2 ) = 150$

$34x - 34 = 150$

$34x = 184$

$x = \frac{97}{12} = 8\frac{1}{12}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{17}{15}= \frac{10}{2x-2}$

$(2x-2 )*\frac{17}{15} =\frac{10}{2x-2} *(2x-2)$

$\frac{34x-34}{15} = 10$

$15*\frac{34x-34}{15} = 10*15$

$34x-34=150$

$34x=150+34$

$34x=184$

$x=\frac{92}{17}$
