Question

Find the value of x if 8, 12 and (10 + x) are in
continued proportion.​

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 8$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{8}{12} = \frac{12}{10 + x} \\ \\ 8(10 + x) = 144 \\ 80 + 8x = 144 \\ 8x = 144 - 80 \\ 8x = 64 \\ \\ x = \frac{64}{8} = 8$

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

8:12 :: 12:(10+x)

8/12 = 12/(10+x)

8/12*12 = 10+x

8 = 10+x

x = 8-10

x = -2
