Question

how do you solve this proportion
6/9 = x+4/12

Answer 1

First, multiply both sides by 36.

Answer 2

i dont think thats how you do it

Answer 3

why not?

Answer 4

6/9 = 2/3

Answer 5

nv

Answer 6

is it (x+4)/12, or x + (4/12)?

Answer 7

the first one

Answer 8

4/12 = 1/3

Answer 9

you have to simplify first

Answer 10

and then left the x alone

Answer 11

2/3 - 1/3 = 1/3 = x

Answer 12

So, you have:
(x+4)/12 = 6/9
(x+4) = 6 * 12 / 9
x + 4 = 8
x = 8-4
x = 4

Answer 13

if it is with the parentesis, it is different. 2/3 = (x+4)/12 you simplify by 3 both sides, and multiply by 4, so 2*4 = x+4, and X = 4

Answer 14

you have 6/9=(x+4)/12
separate what's on the right of the equal sign into 2 fractions; x/12 +4/12
subtract 4/12 from both sides and you get 1/3 = x/12
you then multiply both sides by 12 and get 4=x
is that your answer?
