Question

PLZ HELP WILL GIVE BRANLYIST! Why are the solutions to the proportions StartFraction 40 over 8 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 10 EndFraction and StartFraction x over 40 EndFraction = StartFraction 10 over 8 EndFraction the same? because both result in the equation 8 x = 400, which simplifies to x = 5 because both result in the equation 8 x = 400, which simplifies to x = 50 because both result in the equation 40 x = 80, which simplifies to x = 2 because both result in the equation 40 x = 80, which simplifies to x = 20

Answer 1

It would be B.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Because both result in the equation 8x = 400 which simplifies to 50.

Explanation:

If you cross multiply both of the pairs, you will get 8x = 400.

divide 400 by 8 to simplify and you get 50
