Question

Solve for each of the following proportions:
a. 5/x=30/42
b. x/8=-12/32

Answer 1

A. x = 7

B. x = -3

Explanation:

A. 5/x = 30/42

5/x = 5/7

5 = 5/7 x

5= 5x/7

5 x 7 = 5x

35 = 5x

35/5 = x

7 = x

x = 7

B. x/8 = -12/32

x/8 = -3/8

x = - 3/8 x 8

x = - 24/8

x = -3

Hope this helps you have a gr8 day :3
