Given equation :
.
Strategy 1: We can cross mutiply both sides remove fraction form.
On cross multiplication, we get
x * 7 = 3 * 42
7x = 126.
Dividing both sides by 7, we get
<h3>
x = 18.</h3>
Strategy 2: We can find least common denominator(lcd) of both sides and multiplying both sides by that lcd to get rid denominators from both sides.
LCD of 42 and 7 is 42.
Therefore, multiplying both sides by 42, we get

x = 6 * 3
<h3>x = 18.</h3>
5-2=3 so therefore y=3
Remember to work backwards and use opposite operations.
The first number is 27 and the second number is 45 so the ratio would be 27;45
Not skewed, I can tell dawgggg ooooohhhhh and I’m wasted
