Question

Solve the Proportion.

x/17=9/2

Answer 1

multiply both sides with 17 * 2 :D

Answer 2

cross multiplying
2x = 17x9, divide through by 2 to get x

Answer 3

@Shizen don't just post answers when someone else is providing a possible solution!

Answer 4

when did i post an answer @d3Xter ??

Answer 5

Dividing both sides with 17*2 is wrong!

Answer 6

Consider re-writing the given equation of proportions as\[\frac{ x }{ 17 }=\frac{ 9 }{ 2 }\]... then it'd be easier for you (@youngstar10) to follow d3Xter's advice.

Answer 7

So the answer will come out to be x=76.5 because I cross multiply and then divide x by 17(9) right?

Answer 8

@d3Xter i said multiply and thats not wrong!

Answer 9

yep thats correct @youngstar10 :D

Answer 10

Yeah, @youngstar10 ! :)
