Question

48/8=42/x x=42 x=7 x=8 x=6

Answer 1

Answer:

x=7

Step -by -step explanation:

Given that,

$\frac{48}{8}= \frac{42}{x}$

We first simplify the left hand side of the equation to obtain

$6=\frac{42}{x}$

we then cross multiply to get

$6x=42$

We divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x (i.e 6) to get the value of x.

$\implies\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{42}{6}$

Therefore,

$x=7$
