Answer:
x = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a word phrase:
In the proportion x over 5 equals 15 over 3 , which number is equal to x in the proportion?
So we will translate it to make it easier to solve.
Proportion x over 5 --->
equals ---> =
15 over 3 --->
Combining them, we get:

Solving this for x using cross multiplication:

What is an equation for the linear function whose graph contains the points (−1, −2) and (3, 10) ? Enter your answers in the box
RideAnS [48]

There are two ways to equate a straight line. We first have y=mx+b. Then, we have (y-y₁)=m(x-x₁). Both work fine and have similar variables, but the numbers are mixed around a bit. Your equation clearly shows the second form of equation. As our equation has x-x₁ on the right, we can notice that x+1 must mimic that, so x+1=(x-x₁). As x-(-1)=x+1, we can only assume that x is -1. Looking at the points given to us, y must be -2, so we have y-(-2)=y+2, so 2 fills in the leftmost open box. To find the slope, or m, we must take

\frac{(y_{1} -y_{2})}{(x_{1} -x_{2})} from points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂). It doesn't matter which point is (x₁, y₁) , but it matters that the y₁ corresponds to the x₁. Thus, we have our slope as \frac{-2-10}{-1-3} =\frac{-12}{-4} =3
