Solving Proportion Equations:

1. Use the cross products to set up a linear equation in one variable.
• Multiply the denominator of the left fraction by the numerator of the right fraction.
• Multiply the denominator of the right fraction by the numerator of the left fraction.
2. Solve the linear equation.
• Move all variable terms to the left side.
• Move all numbers to the right side.
• Isolate the variable.
• We obtain our answer as: x = "a number"
