What is the value of x in the proportion below? 1/2 /4 = x/28 O 3 1/2 O 7 1/2 O 14 O 56 PLEASE HELP ITS URGENT​

Step-by-step explanation:

hi

A 3 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a number of ways that you can solve this

Method 1)

Since these proportions are set equal to each other, we know that x is also equivalent to 1/2. So, we need to find the whole-number that was multiplied by the first fraction (1/2/4) that gave us the second fraction (x/28).

So we need to divide the denominators

28/4 = 7

Now that we have that number, we will mutiply 1/2 by it because we know that whatever x is the 1/2 times 7 since 28 is 4*7:

1/2 * 7 = 3.5 or 3 1/2, so 3 1/2 is our answer...

Another way that we can solve this is by using the cross product (butterfly method)

Method 2)

Multiply 28 by 1/2 = 14.

Now we will divide 14 by 4. 14/4 = 3.5

3.5 = 3 1/2, so that is our answer.

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
