Learning to solve a proportion

The video tutorial guides students through solving an algebraic equation using the cross product and distributive property. It begins with setting up the problem and suggests using Siri for help. The teacher explains the cross product method, applies the distributive property, and simplifies the equation. The tutorial concludes with solving the equation to find the value of z, emphasizing the importance of keeping variables on one side and simplifying the result.

What method does the teacher suggest to solve the problem initially?

• Using a calculator

• Applying the cross product

• Asking a friend

• Using a graph

What is the purpose of putting a line through the z's?

• To make them easier to write

• To differentiate them from 2's

• To highlight them

• To make them look fancy

What property is applied after the cross product to simplify the equation?

• Associative property

• Commutative property

• Distributive property

• Identity property

What is the next step after applying the distributive property to the equation?

• Add z to both sides

• Subtract z from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 2

• Divide both sides by 2

What is the final form of the solution for z?

• z equals 1

• z equals 0

• 37 divided by 2

• 18.5
