Question

Find x I. This proportion. 16/x=x/4 16/x=x/4 x=

Answer 1

We are given that 16/x = x/4.

Cross multiply:

x^2 = 64

Square root both sides:

x = 8, or x = -8 (depends on the question).

Answer 2

The value of x is x=8,-8.

Explanation:

Given : Proportion
`(16)/(x) =(x)/(4)`

To find : The value of x?

Solution :

Proportion
`(16)/(x)=(x)/(4)`

Cross multiply both side,

`16* 4=x* x`

`x^2=64`

Squaring both side,

`√(x^2)=√(64)`

`x=\pm 8`

Therefore, The value of x is x=8,-8.
