since they are similar, you'll need to solve the proportion: \[\huge \frac{20}{18}=\frac{5x+10}{6x} \] you might wanna reduce that fraction on the left before cross multiplying though...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the leading coefficient?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@dpaInc is it 10?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is your question x=10? if yes, then no.. x is not 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No the question is If the simplified expression is written in standard form, what is the leading coefficient?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the expression i wrote above? the thing is, that is just one of many ways you can write the proportion. and therefore it could be many things... besides, the question asks for the value of x, not what the leading coefficient of x...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer should be just one number, the coefficient.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, the answer I got is the answer to the question it asks for .... the value of x which is..... not 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol then what is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you try solving it? i'll tell higher or lower...:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:( 11?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lower..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lower...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lower....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you guessing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeaah, lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ur funny...:) really, try solving that equation... it really isn't that bad... the answer is it's less than 8.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

guessing is easier

OpenStudy (anonymous):
