Joanie believes that you cannot use cross products to solve the proportion StartFraction 50 over 3 EndFraction = StartFraction 75 over x EndFraction for x. She says that if you multiply both sides of the equation by x, you get StartFraction 50 x over 3 EndFraction = 75. Then, if you multiply both sides of the equation by 3, you get 50 x = 75, which is a different equation than you would get if you cross multiplied. What mistake did Joanie make in her reasoning?
