Question

Use the cross product property to solve each equation: 5/7 = x/9

Answer 1

x = 45/7

Explanation:

`(5)/(7) =(x)/(9)`

Here, you can more easily see what the fractions look like.

In order to cross-multiply, you have to multiply 5 with 9, and 7 with x.

45 = 7x

Then, you isolate x by dividing 7 on both sides:

45/7 = x
