Solve the proportion 7/5=21/x (show work/explain how u got it please)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anvisha [2.4K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the "butterfly" method for proportions

(there is another type of butterfly method that is different, I am not sure if there is another name for this method, sorry!)

\frac{7}{5} = \frac{21}{x}

Multiply the:

- top left by the bottom right

-the top right by the bottom left

and then:

- set them equal to each other

So we will <u>multiply 7 by x and 21 by 5</u> (if this doesn't make sense tell me and I will explain it even more!)

7x = 21 * 5

7x = 105

(Divide both sides by 7) <em>x = 15</em>

Hope this helps, have a nice day! :D <3

Frankie factored the expression ls 14m + 21pm - 35mq as 7(2m + 3pm - 5mq) . She thinks she has factored out the greatest common
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Disagree, as m is common to all terms of the expression and thus, can be factored. The factored expression is 7m(2 + 3p - 5q)

Step-by-step explanation:

If a variable is common to all terms of an expression, it can be factored.

14m + 21pm - 35mq

Here, m is common to all terms of the expression, so the factored expression is:

7m(\frac{14m}{7m} + \frac{21pm}{7m} - \frac{35mq}{7m}) = 7m(2 + 3p - 5q)

Disagree, as m is common to all terms of the expression and thus, can be factored. The factored expression is 7m(2 + 3p - 5q)
