Answer:
[tex]\Huge \boxed{x=28.3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The proportion is given,
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{x}{5} =\frac{17}{3}[/tex]
We need the x variable isolated on one side, so we can find the value of x that makes the proportion true.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{x}{5} \times (5)=\frac{17}{3} \times (5)[/tex]
Simplify the equation.
[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{85}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x=28.33333333...[/tex]
The value of x that makes the proportion true is 28.3 (rounded to nearest tenth place).
