Solving a proportion with x on both sides

👉 Learn how to solve proportions. Two ratios are said to be proportional when the two ratios are equal. Thus, proportion problems are problems involving the equality of two ratios. When given a proportion problem with an unknown, we usually cross-multiply the two ratios and then solve for the unknown using the applicable operations.

It's x-3 times -2 and when you distributed the 2 you forgot to make it a negative so the answer is wrong.

I just showed this to my Algebra class. We can't believe you forgot the -2.

Thank you for showing my kids what not to do.

I did this four years ago and forgot how to, thanks for making it super easy again

[StevenTorrey]

Why not -2 (minus two) times (x -3) giving -2x +6?

[pipesoot_e]

[mikevazquez]

Its so clear to me now. Thank you so much. God Bless!!!

[noahdebas]

thanks it so simple now (by the way i recognised the - sign that u have forgot but it's ok we all know (the people that's watched this) how to do it

[Godakuri]

Wait what. I got 6 = 10x, which makes x = 6/10

[JesusEnthusiastlife]

Wrong, when you multiply you forgot about the -2. Bro you just showed the WRONG way to do it.
