Question

what are the solutions for x in the proportion 5x-6/x=2x/2

Answer 1

is it:

\[\frac{5x - 6}{x} = \frac{2x}{2}\]

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Okay, so cross multiply. Let me know what you get afterwards.

Answer 4

10x-12=2x^2

Answer 5

Okay, good so you have

\(10x - 12 = 2x^2\)

Now, create a quadratic with \(2x^2\) as the leading term by subtracting 10x from both sides, then adding 12 to both sides. .

Answer 6

i still dont understand

Answer 7
