Q. Solve for x \mathrm{x} .\newline35=15x \frac{3}{5}=\frac{15}{x} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Identify Cross-Multiplication: Identify the cross-multiplication that can be done with the given proportion.\newlineSince we have a proportion (35)=(15x)(\frac{3}{5}) = (\frac{15}{x}), we can cross-multiply to find the value of xx.
  2. Perform Cross-Multiplication: Perform the cross-multiplication. Cross-multiplying gives us 3×x=5×153 \times x = 5 \times 15.
  3. Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation from Step 22.\newlineThis simplifies to 3x=753x = 75.
  4. Solve for x: Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 33. Dividing both sides by 33 gives us x=75/3x = 75 / 3.
  5. Calculate xx: Calculate the value of xx.\newlineCalculating 753\frac{75}{3} gives us x=25x = 25.
