What value of x will make the faction equivent 3/5=x/36

x = 21.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution by Cross Multiplication

For the equation

35=x36

The cross product is

3×36=5×x

Solving for x

x=3×365

and reducing

x=21.6

Solution by Proportion

Since the equation is an equality

If

36 ÷ 5 = 7.2

Then it is true that

x ÷ 3 = 7.2

Solving for x

x = 3 × 7.2

x = 21.6

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
