Equation
2/3 = 14/ x
Cross multiply
2xX = 14x3
2x = 42
Eliminate
2x/2 = 42/2
X = 21
<span>Well, think of it this way? How many times does 5 go into 9?
5 * 1 = 5
5 * 2 = 10
So 5 goes into 9 one time. Then you have to subtract that 5 from 9 to be left with your fraction value.
1 and 4/5 is your mixed number.</span>

Hope this helps!
Answer:
Haha proofs are an interesting thing. Usually, nothing is to scale, which is why you can't measure anything. They are pretty annoying, but it helps to know why certain things are the way that they are and develop justification skills for higher level math.
Sorry to discourage you, but you're going to see "Justify" quite a lot in calculus and beyond which is basically a more informal version of a proof
you can never escape it tbh lol
