Question

A changes saved Set up a proportion and use it to solve for x. 2 10 х 3

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The following proportional can be set-up for the figure given:

$\frac{x + 3}{x} = \frac{10 + 2}{10}$

Solve for x

$\frac{x + 3}{x} = \frac{12}{10}$

$\frac{x + 3}{x} = \frac{6}{5}$

Cross multiply

$5(x + 3) = x(6)$

$5x + 15 = 6x$

15 = 6x - 5x

15 = x

x = 15
