When you solve a proportion, your first step should be to cross-multiply.
=
When you cross-multiply, you should get this equation:
(2x)(3) = (x + 3)(5)
Now, solve it using algebra.
(2x)(3) = (x + 3)(5) Multiply
6x = 5x + 15 Subtract 5x from both sides
x = 15
The value of
x is 15.

Answer:
m= 4
Step-by-step explanation:
3m +2n= 16 -----(1)
m -2n= 0 -----(2)
From (2):
m= 2n -----(3) (+2n on both sides)
subst. (3) into (1):
3(2n) +2n= 16
6n +2n= 16
8n= 16 (simplify)
n= 16 ÷8
n= 2
subst. n=2 into (3):
m= 2(2)
m= 4
