Solve the proportion. 5/x=9/x+8
Solve for x
x=10
Thank you, but can you show me how you got that. I would like to know how to solve it.
I got cross multiplied.
5*(x+8) =9x
5x+40 =9x
4x =40
x =10
I hope this helps.
sorry I meant to say I got the answer by cross multiplying.
yes it does! Thank you!
I understood!
Did you know how to solve this problem?
How long will it take for prices in the economy to double at a 6% annual inflation rate? Round to the nearest hundredth.
I have posted it twice with no luck.
