8 (2 x 8, 5 x 8, 7 x 8)
5 + (16 x 8) - (8/4) = 131
5/8//16 is the same as saying, 5/8 * 1/16 = 5/128 ----------------
(1/2) x (5/8) = 5/16
-8
5/16 + x = 8/17x = 8/17 - 5/16x = (8/17 x 16/16) - (5/16 x 17/17)x = 128/272 - 85/272x = (128 - 85) / 272x = 43/272
8 (2 x 8, 5 x 8, 7 x 8)
5 + (16 x 8) - (8/4) = 131
5/8//16 is the same as saying, 5/8 * 1/16 = 5/128 ----------------
(1/2) x (5/8) = 5/16
(5 x 8) + (2 x 8) = 7 x 8 = 56
8 x 2/5 = 16/5 = 3.2
8 divided by 16/5 = 8 x 5/16 = 5/2 = 2 and 1/2
Suppose x needs to be subtracted.That is 7/8 - x = 5/24Rearranging, 7/8 - 5/24 = xso 21/24 - 5/24 = x = 16/24 = 2/3Suppose x needs to be subtracted.That is 7/8 - x = 5/24Rearranging, 7/8 - 5/24 = xso 21/24 - 5/24 = x = 16/24 = 2/3Suppose x needs to be subtracted.That is 7/8 - x = 5/24Rearranging, 7/8 - 5/24 = xso 21/24 - 5/24 = x = 16/24 = 2/3Suppose x needs to be subtracted.That is 7/8 - x = 5/24Rearranging, 7/8 - 5/24 = xso 21/24 - 5/24 = x = 16/24 = 2/3

The solution to the proportion 8 over x 5 over 10 is that x is 16.
5 x n = (3 x 16) - 8 5 x n = 48 - 8 5 x n = 40 n = 40/5 ie 8
