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...

Good luck on your assignment
