Question

Solve the proportion ASAP help do both questions

Answer 1

Answer:

7. 4

8. 7

Step-by-step explanation:

7. $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{x}{8}$

Cross multiply

$1*8 = x*2$

$8 = 2x$

$\frac{8}{2} = \frac{2x}{2}$ (division property of equality)

$4 = x$

$x = 4$

8. $\frac{3}{x - 3} = \frac{6}{8}$

Cross multiply

$3*8 = 6(x - 3)$

$24 = 6x - 18$

$24 + 18 = 6x$ (addition property of equality)

$42 = 6x$

Divide both sides by 6

$7 = x$

$x = 7$
