Question

Help thanksSSSSSSSSSS

Answer 1

Answer:

• $\boxed{\sf{x=24}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN:

To find the missing number in the proportion, you have to isolate it the term of x from one side of the equation.

$\sf{\dfrac{8}{7}=\dfrac{x}{21} }$

First, thing you do is switch sides.

$\sf{\dfrac{x}{21}=\dfrac{8}{7} }$

Multiply by 21 from both sides.

$\Longrightarrow: \sf{\dfrac{21x}{21}=\dfrac{8*21}{7} }$

Solve.

Multiply the numbers from left to right.

Use the order of operations.

PEMDAS stands for:

• Parentheses
• Exponents
• Multiply
• Divide
• Add
• Subtract

$\Longrightarrow: \sf{\dfrac{8*21}{7}=\dfrac{168}{7}=24 }$

$\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{x=24}}$

• Therefore, the final answer is x=24.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
