<h2><u>PROPORTIONAL EQUATION</u></h2><h3>Exercise</h3>

Apply the means-extremes property of proportions: this allows you to cross multiply:

                \boxed{\mathsf{\dfrac{x}{4} = \dfrac{x - 6}{3}}}

\mathsf{\dfrac{x}{4} \searrow \dfrac{x - 6}{3}}      ‏‏‎      ‏‏‎‎      \mathsf{\dfrac{x}{4} \nearrow \dfrac{x-6}{3}}‏‏‎‎

             \boxed{\mathsf{3x = 4(x - 6)}}

Apply the distributive property:

\mathsf{3x = 4(x-6)}

\mathsf{3x = 4(x) - 4(6)}

\mathsf{3x = 4x - 24}

Add 24 to both sides:

\mathsf{3x + 24 = 4x - 24 + 24}

\mathsf{3x + 24 = 4x}

Substract 3x to both sides

\mathsf{3x - 3x + 24 = 4x - 3x}

\mathsf{24 = 4x - 3x}

\large{\boxed{\mathsf{24 = x}}}

‎      ‏‏‎

<h3><u>Answer</u>. The value of x = 24.</h3>

Luden [163]

Answer:

  5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the four sides. Opposite sides have the same length, so it is twice the sum of the lengths of adjacent sides.

The sum of adjacent sides is (32 m)/2 = 16 m. If one of them is 11 m long, the other is ...

  16 m - 11 m = 5 m

The "missing" side is 5 m long.
