Question

Solve each proportion. 10/14=15/x

Answer 1

Answer: x=21

Explanation:

`(10)/(14) =(15)/(x)`

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 14x, the least common multiple of 14,x.

x×10=14×15

Multiply 14 and 15 to get 210.

x×10=210

Divide both sides by 10.

x=

10

210

​

Divide 210 by 10 to get 21.

x=21

Answer 2

Answer:x=21

Explanation:
