Solve the proportion 40/z+1 = 15/6

Sagot :

Answer:

z = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \frac{40}{z + 1} = \frac{15}{6} \\ [/tex]

Cross multiply

That's

[tex]15(z + 1) = 40(6) \\ 15z + 15 = 240[/tex]

Send 15 to the right side of the equation

[tex]15z = 240 - 15 \\ 15z = 225[/tex]

Divide both sides by 15

[tex] \frac{15z}{15} = \frac{225}{15} \\ [/tex]

We have the final answer as

z = 15

Hope this helps you
