Solve Proportions General Video

Explore the "ALGEBRA – SOLVE PROPORTIONS" in our latest video tutorial. In this practice drill, you will encounter direct proportions, which include a variable. Your goal is to find the solution to the proportion – the numerical value of the variable that satisfies the proportion.

In this video, we demonstrate how to approach this challenge using a sample problem:

Solve the proportion:
(7/12) = (x/24)
A. 2
B. 7
C. 14
D. 24
We guide you through solving the proportion through cross-multiplication and the algebraic reasoning behind cross-multiplication.
In cross multiplication, we multiply the denominator of one side of the equation with the numerator of the other side of the equation, and vice versa.
In this video another type of solving proportions is explained in a word problem format. The critical steps to solving the proportion are explained and the different formula options are presented in the video.
