Question

x:8=2:x
calculate the value the positive of x

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

Product of Extreme Terms = Product of Mean Terms

By following the above given property, we can find the answer.

Extreme Terms = x and x

Middle Terms = 8 and 2

Therefore,

8 × 2 = 'x' × 'x'

16 = x²

√16 = x

4 = x

Hence, x is 4.

Verification:

As per,

Product of Extreme Terms = Product of Mean Terms

4 × 4 = 8 × 2

16 = 16

LHS = RHS

Hence, x = 4.
