Exercise 9 Page 461

Solve for the variable by using the Cross Products Property.

x=32

Practice makes perfect
To solve the proportion, we will start by using the Cross Products Property.
4/x=7/56
4* 56=x*7
224=7x
7x=224
From here, we will continue solving for x by using the Properties of Equality.
7x=224
x=32
