In each of the following pairs represent a pair of equivalent rational numbers, find the values of x.(i) (2/3) and (5/x)(ii) (-3/7) and (x/4)(iii) (3/5) and (x/-25)(iv) (13/6) and (-65/x)

Answer»

(i) Given (2/3) and (5/x)

Also given that they are equivalent rational number so (2/3) = (5/x)

x = (5 × 3)/2

x = (15/2)

(ii) Given (-3/7) and (x/4)

Also given that they are equivalent rational number so (-3/7) = (x/4)

x = (-3 × 4)/7

x = (-12/7)

(iii) Given (3/5) and (x/-25)

Also given that they are equivalent rational number so (3/5) = (x/-25)

x = (3 × -25)/5

x = (-75)/5

x = -15

(iv) Given (13/6) and (-65/x)

Also given that they are equivalent rational number so (13/6) = (-65/x)

x = 6/13 x (- 65)

x = 6 x (-5)

x = -30
