Question 348660
Hi,

((2)/(3)+x):x=(5)/(2):(5)/(3)
.
*Note: Express the ratio in the following form
{{{((2/3)+x)/x = (5/2)/(5/3)}}}
.
simplify by multiplying the numerator and denominator on the right side by 6
{{{((2/3)+x)/x = (15/10)}}}
.
cross multiply to solve
{{{15*x = 10*(2/3 +x)}}}
{{{15*x = 20/3 +10*x}}}
{{{5*x = 20/3 }}}
{{{x = highlight(4/3) }}}
