Question

Marnie solved the proportion StartFraction 150 over 170 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 510 EndFraction to find the value of x in the enlarged parallelogram. What is the value of x?

Answer 1

450

Explanation:

Answer 2

450.

Explanation:

The given equation is

`(150)/(170)=(x)/(510)`

We need to solve the proportion to find the value of x.

Multiply both sides by 510, to isolate x on one side.

`(150)/(170)* 510=(x)/(510)* 510`

Cancel out common factors.

`150* 3=x`

`450=x`

On interchanging the sides, we get

`x=450`

Therefore, the value of x is 450.
