Solve the proportion. [tex]\bf{\dfrac{2}{x}=\dfrac{4}{34}[/tex].
[tex]\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{This problem has been solved!}}[/tex]
We multiply 2 by 34, and x by 4 (this is known as cross multiplication)
[tex]\bf{2*34=4*x}[/tex] | simplify
[tex]\bf{68=4x}[/tex] | solve in terms of x
[tex]\bf{17=x}[/tex]
[tex]\rule{300}{1.7}[/tex]
[tex]\bf{Result:}[/tex]
[tex]\bf{17=x}[/tex]
