6 / 88 = 21/x
cross multiply
(6)(x) = (21)(88)
6x = 1848
x = 1848/6
x = 308 <==

What is j equal to in 1 2/3j=15
Vladimir [108]

Answer:90

Step-by-step explanation:One solution was found :

                  j = 90

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    1/2/3*j-(15)=0  

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

           1

Simplify   —

           2

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  1              

 (— ÷ 3 • j) -  15  = 0  

  2              

Step  2  :

        1      

Divide  —  by  3

        2      

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  1          

 (— • j) -  15  = 0  

  6          

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

3.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  6  as the denominator :

         15     15 • 6

   15 =  ——  =  ——————

         1        6    

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

j - (15 • 6)     j - 90

————————————  =  ——————

     6             6    

Equation at the end of step  3  :

 j - 90

 ——————  = 0  

   6    

Step  4  :

When a fraction equals zero :

4.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 j-90

 ———— • 6 = 0 • 6

  6  

Now, on the left hand side, the  6  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  j-90  = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.2      Solve  :    j-90 = 0  

Add  90  to both sides of the equation :  

                     j = 90

One solution was found :

                  j = 90

Help i have no idea how to solve this
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

AB =24

Step-by-step explanation:

So, since all the sides are equal, you can just take two of the sides and set em equal to each other to find x and then, solve for AB

4x+8 =6x

8= 6x-4x

8=2x

8/2 =x

x= 4

Now, find AB, which is 4x+8

4(4) + 8

16+8 = 24

Hope this helps!

Please mark brainliest if you think I helped! Would really appreciate!
