Question

Solve the proportion. 17/15 = 10/2x-2

Answer 1

Explanation:

`(17)/(15)= (10)/(2x-2)`

`(2x-2 )*(17)/(15) =(10)/(2x-2) *(2x-2)`

`(34x-34)/(15) = 10`

`15*(34x-34)/(15) = 10*15`

`34x-34=150`

`34x=150+34`

`34x=184`

`x=(92)/(17)`

Answer 2

`x = 8(1)/(12)`

Explanation:

`(17)/(15) =(10)/(2x-2)`

`17 ( 2x - 2 ) = 150`

`34x - 34 = 150`

`34x = 184`

`x = (97)/(12) = 8(1)/(12)`
