3/7 = 9/x
cross multiply because thats how u solve proportions
(3)(x) = (7)(9)
3x = 63
x = 63/3
x = 21
and if u will notice : 3/7 and 9/21 ....9/21 reduces to 3/7....so these are equivalent fractions...because proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions
Yes, Lord Vader !
2/3 x + 5 = 1/2
Multiply each side by 2 : 4/3 x + 10 = 1
Multiply each side by 3 : 4 x + 30 = 3 <== equivalent equation
without fractions
Subtract 30 from each side: 4x = -27
Divide each side by 4 : x = -27/4 = -6.75
Answer:
q = 0.5
Explanation:
Given expression:

Divide both sides by 36

Simplify following

Put q = 0.5 in equation, to check:
36q = 18
36(0.5) = 18
18 = 18
Hence verified, q = 0.5
