Solve a proportion by multiplying by your denominator on both sides ex 11, 5 = (4–3y)/5

The video tutorial explains how to solve proportions by removing the denominator through multiplication. It highlights the use of cross products and demonstrates the simplification process by multiplying both sides of the equation by the denominator. The tutorial concludes with solving the equation to find the variable's value, emphasizing the equivalence of using cross products and direct multiplication.

What is a common misconception when solving proportions?

• The numerator should be multiplied by zero.

• The denominator should be ignored.

• The equation should be divided by two.

• Using the cross product is always necessary.

What is the purpose of multiplying both sides of an equation by the denominator?

• To increase the value of the equation.

• To eliminate the denominator.

• To add more variables.

• To make the equation more complex.

How does multiplying by the denominator relate to the cross product?

• It is a completely different method.

• It is equivalent to using the cross product.

• It is only used for complex equations.

• It is less effective than the cross product.

What is the next step after simplifying the equation by removing the denominator?

• Add a new variable.

• Multiply by another denominator.

• Divide by zero.

• Subtract a constant from both sides.

What is the final step to solve for the variable in the equation?

• Divide by the coefficient of the variable.

• Add the variable to both sides.

• Multiply by the variable.

• Subtract the variable from both sides.
