Answer:
a) x = 5
b) x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
a) x:2 = 10:4
Product of extremes = Product of means
=> x*4 = 10*2
=> 4x = 20
Dividing both sides by 4
=> x = 5
b) 3:x = 6:8
Product of extremes = Product of Means
=> 3*8 = 6*x
=> 24 = 6x
Dividing both sides by 6
=> x = 4
Answer:
a. X= 5
b. X= 4
Solution,
[tex]a. \: \: \frac{x}{2} = \frac{10}{4} \\ \: \: or \: x \times 4 = 10 \times 2 \: ( \: cross \: multiplication) \\ \: \: or \: 4x = 20 \\ or \:x = \frac{20}{4} \\ \: \: \: x = 5[/tex]
[tex]b. \: \frac{3}{x} = \frac{6}{8} \\ or \: 6 \times x = 3 \times 8 \: ( \: cross \: multiplication) \\ or \: 6x = 24 \\ \: or \: x = \frac{24}{6} \\ x = 4[/tex]
Hope this helps...
