Question

Fill in the blanks :5/12/_=-35/18

Answer 1

First, write the proportion, using a letter to stand for the missing term. We find the cross products by multiplying 20 times x, and 50 times 30. Then divide to find x. Study this step closely, because this is a technique we will use often in algebra.

Answer 2

Answer:

-1.5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

you have 5/12/_ and you need a number which you are going to place there to get -35/18

first what number you multiplied with 12 to get 18 is 3/2=1.5

second what number you multiplied with 5 to get 35 is 7

so simply you write 5/2/-1.5/7 to get -35/18

we can use -1.5 because we want the answer in negative you can also use the negative sign with 7
