Question

What number must be added to each of the numbers 2, 3, 6, 8 to get the numbers which are

in proportion?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us add x to each of the four numbers to get (6+x):(14+x)::(18+x):(38+x).

The product of the ends = the product of the means, or

(6+x)(38+x) = (14+x)(18+x), or

x^2 + 44x + 228 = x^2 + 32x + 252, or

44x - 32x = 252–228, or

12x = 24, or x =2.
