Question

Why are the solutions to the proportions - 20 and 60 - the same?

because both result in the equation 20x=500, which simplifies to x - 25
because both result in the equation 20x=500, which simplifies to - 250
because both result in the equation 10x= 1,000 which simplifies to x 10
because both result in the equation 10x=100,which simplifies to x
100

Answer 1

because both result in the equation 20x=500, which simplifies to x =250

[hope it helps im only in 7th grade]

lol :)

Answer 2

because both result in the equation 10x= 1,000 which simplifies to x = 10

Explanation:

Given the question:

Why are the solutions to the proportions 50/x=10/20 and 10/50=20/x the same?

The solution of each proportion is:

50/x=10/20

50*20 = 10*x

1000 = 10*x

1000/10 = x

x = 100

10/50=20/x

10*x = 50*20

10*x = 1000

x = 1000/10

x = 100
