Question

Solve the proportion.

2/17= x/102

Answer 1

`\large \text{x} = \text{12}`

Explanation:

`(2)/(17) =(x)/(102)`

In such case, we use the product of means is equal to the product of extremes.

In other words,

17 × x = 2 × 102

Then

17x = 204

Then

`x = (204)/(17) = 12`

Answer 2

2/17 = 12/102

Explanation:

We have to,

→ find the value of x.

Let's solve the problem,

→ 2/17 = x/102

→ 102(2) = 17(x)

→ 204 = 17x

→ x = 204/17

→ [ x = 12 ]

Hence, value of x is 12.
