Question

Solve The Proportion. If Necessary, Round To The Nearest Hundredth. 2/G+6 = 4/5g+10 G=

Answer 1

g =
`(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

given the proportion

`(2)/(g+6)` =
`(4)/(5g+10)` ( cross- multiply )

2(5g + 10) = 4(g + 6) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

10g + 20 = 4g + 24 ( subtract 4g from both sides )

6g + 20 = 24 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

6g = 4 ( divide both sides by 6 )

`(6)/(6)` g =
`(4)/(6)` , that is

g =
`(2)/(3)`
