Question

Solve the proportion and REDUCE​

Answer 1

x = 58/3

Explanation:

We can use cross products to solve this problem

6 7

---------- = -----------

14 x-3

6 * (x-3) = 7 * 14

Divide each side by 6

6 /6* (x-3) = 7 * 14/6

x-3 = 98/6

Add 3 to each side

x-3+3 = 98/6 +3

x = 98/6 +18/6

x = 116/6

Divide the top and bottom by 2

x =58/3
