Answer:

x = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

We set the two equal to each other

x = 12/y = 9 is equal to x/y = 54.

In order for 9 to get to 54, you have to multiply it by 6. Since you multiplied the denominator with 6, you have to do the same with the numerator. 12 times 6 is 72.

x = 72

Solve the following proportion. х 42 35 10

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion is equal to $\frac{x}{10}=\frac{42}{35}$

We can simplify the right side by dividing by 7/7 to get the right side equal to 6/5. Now we can cross-multiply to get

$60=5x$

Dividing both sides by 5, we have the answer as

$x=12$
