Question

Solve the following proportion: (round to the nearest tenths place if necessary)

4/7=10/x




I need the explanation

Answer 1

x = 17.5

Explanation:

4/7 = 10/x

4x = 70

x = 70/4

x = 17.5

Answer 2

Note that:

• 4/7 = 10/x

To find the solution to the proportion, we will need to simplify the equation (4/7 = 10/x)

• 4/7 = 10/x
• => 4x = 70
• => x = 70/4 = 35/2 = 17.5.
