Solve the proportion 9/x = 18/5

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross multiply:

9 * 5 = x * 18

Simplifying

9 * 5 = x * 18

Multiply 9 * 5

45 = x * 18

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:

45 = 18x

Solving

45 = 18x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-18x' to each side of the equation.

45 + -18x = 18x + -18x

Combine like terms: 18x + -18x = 0

45 + -18x = 0

Add '-45' to each side of the equation.

45 + -45 + -18x = 0 + -45

Combine like terms: 45 + -45 = 0

0 + -18x = 0 + -45

-18x = 0 + -45

Combine like terms: 0 + -45 = -45

-18x = -45

Divide each side by '-18'.

x = 2.5

Simplifying

x = 2.5
