Question

What is the solution of the proportion?

x-6/4 = 2/4
a 9/2
b 5/2
c 21/2
d 18

Answer 1

Solution of the proportion:
`(x-6)/(4)=(2)/(4)` is x=8.

Explanation:

We need to find solution of the proportion:
`(x-6)/(4)=(2)/(4)`

For solving the equation, first we will multiply both sides by 4

`(x-6)/(4)=(2)/(4)`

`4* (x-6)/(4)=4* (2)/(4)`

`x-6=4((2)/(4))`

Simplifying

`x-6=2`

Adding 6 on both sides

`x-6+6=2+6x=8`

So, solution of the proportion:
`(x-6)/(4)=(2)/(4)` is x=8.

Note: Kindly recheck your options as correct answer is x =8.
