Question

76. 1) 8/14=x/35 2) 7/28=x/12 ​

Answer 1

To solve these two equations for x, you can set up proportions and then solve for x:

1. (8/14) = (x/35)

First, cross-multiply:

8 * 35 = 14 * x

280 = 14x

Now, divide both sides by 14 to isolate x:

x = 280 / 14 x = 20

So, the solution to the first equation is x = 20.

2. (7/28) = (x/12)

Cross-multiply:

7 * 12 = 28 * x

84 = 28x

Now, divide both sides by 28 to isolate x:

x = 84 / 28 x = 3

So, the solution to the second equation is x = 3.

Therefore, the solutions are:

1. x = 20
2. x = 3
