Exercise 5 Page 464

To solve the proportion, let's start by using the Cross Products Property, then we will apply the Division Property of Equality.

\frac{2}{3} = \frac{x}{2 4}

Cross multiply

2 (24) = 3 x

Multiply

48 = 3 x

$LHS / 3 = RHS / 3$

16 = x

Rearrange equation

x = 16

Therefore, the solution for the given equation is

x = 16 .
