5. two-thirds a number plus 4 i 7.

x = 9/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 x + 4 = 7

2/3 x = 3

Multiply both sides by 3/2:

2/3 * 3/2 x = 3 * 3/2

x = 9/2.

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
