Okay tell me if this is what your problem looks like \(\sf \large \color{magenta}{\frac{17}{-24}= \frac{V}{3}}\)

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Is this proportions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yess,except the - is suppose to b on the line

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Oohh like this? \(\sf \large \color{magenta}{-\frac{17}{24}= \frac{V}{3}}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yess and no it's no,this is algebra and equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

V=-51/24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did you get -51?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-17x3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

? I think you didn't quite understand.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-51 divided by 24?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am i right?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

(-17/24) = (x/3) (-17 * 3) = (x * 24) (-17 * 3) / 24 = x -2.125 = x

sammixboo (sammixboo):

It is rounded to -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you multiply the numerator with the other denominator and then you divide it with the remaining denominator

sammixboo (sammixboo):

That is using cross process

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the end you will not obtain an integer. it will be -51/24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

51/24 smh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with a minus

sammixboo (sammixboo):

\(\sf \large \color{magenta}{-\frac{17}{24}= \frac{X}{3}}\) \(\sf \large \color{magenta}{-\frac{17x3}{24xX}= \frac{X}{3}}\) \(\sf \large \color{magenta}{-\frac{-51}{24}= \frac{X}{3}}\) Now you take -51 and divide it by 24 and get -2.125

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Noo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for no choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it jus says solve the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the solution is the one that i first provided

OpenStudy (anonymous):

confusing
