Solve the following proportion for x




A
500
B
750

1 answer

To solve the proportion \( \frac{A}{B} = \frac{x}{750} \) where \( A = 500 \) and \( B = 750 \), we can set up the equation as follows:

\[ \frac{500}{750} = \frac{x}{750} \]

Cross-multiplying gives us:

\[ 500 \cdot 750 = 750 \cdot x \]

To isolate \( x \), we can simplify the left side:

\[ 500 = x \]

Thus, the solution for \( x \) is:

\[ x = 500 \]
