Learn to solve a proportion by determining & multiplying by LCD ex 14,(2x–11)=5(x–3)/11

The video tutorial demonstrates how to solve proportions by treating them as fractions. It covers methods like cross multiplication and using the least common denominator (LCD) to simplify equations. The instructor applies the distributive property to solve the equation and arrives at the final solution, explaining each step clearly.

What is a proportion in mathematical terms?

• A fraction equal to another fraction

• A sum of two fractions

• A product of two numbers

• A difference between two numbers

What is the purpose of introducing a '1' in a proportion?

• To change the proportion

• To make numerators and denominators visible

• To simplify the equation

• To make the equation more complex

What is the least common denominator (LCD) used for in solving proportions?

• To add fractions

• To multiply both sides of the equation

• To divide the equation

• To subtract fractions

What property is applied to solve the equation after multiplying by the LCD?

• Associative property

• Identity property

• Commutative property

• Distributive property

What is the final solution to the proportion problem discussed?

• X = 106 / 17

• X = 126 / 17

• X = 126 / 11

• X = 106 / 11
