What value of x will make this proportion true 3-29 x-116?

Answer 1

To find the value of ( x ) that makes the proportion ( \frac{3}{29} = \frac{x}{116} ) true, you can cross-multiply. This gives you ( 3 \times 116 = 29 \times x ), or ( 348 = 29x ). Dividing both sides by 29, you get ( x = \frac{348}{29} ), which simplifies to ( x = 12 ). Thus, the value of ( x ) is 12.
