(z + 6) / 3 = 2z / 4
this is a proportion, so we cross multiply
(3)(2z) = 4(z + 6)
6z = 4z + 24
6z - 4z = 24
2z = 24
z = 24/2
z = 12 <==
Answer:
40%
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5x100%=40%
It isn't because, it isn't consistent, and it doesn't follow any of the other answer choices. :)
When you solve proportions, you have to cross multiply.
9 x
--- = --- Multiply each numerator by the opposite denominator.
11 22
(9)(22) = 11x Then, multiply.
198 = 11x Then, divide.
18 = x
