If any number of quantities are proportional, any antecedent is to its consequent as the sum of all the antecedents is to the sum of all the consequents. Let a : b = c : d = e :f Now ab = ab (1) and by Theorem I. The student's algebra - Page 14by John Darby (teacher of mathematics.) - 1829Full view - About this book
