2x/21=12/18
Use cross multiply
2x(18)=21×12
36x=252
Divided 36 for both side
36x/36=252/36
x=7. As a result, x=7 is your final answer. Hope it help!

You can use something called crossed multiplication (not sure the official name but something like that) basically when you have 2 fractions that equal to each other, you can multiply the numerator on the left-hand side with the denominator on the friction on the right side. and repeat the same with the numerator on the right side and multiply it by the denominator on the left. that way, there will be no more fractions and will just leave you simple algebraic equations.
so in here $2x / 21 = 12 / 18 252 = 36x x = 7$

Answer:

y = 18x + 10

slope = 18

y-intercept = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The situation given in the problem is linear and can be represented using slope-intercept form of a linear equation: y = mx + b, where 'm' is equal to the slope, 'b' is equal to the y-intercept, 'x' is the number of hours and 'y' is the total number of miles.

Given that Jasmine has already biked 10 miles, her initial value, or y-intercept would be 10. Since she is now biking at a rate of 18 miles per hour, her rate of change, or slope, would be 18.

Using these values for 'm' and 'b': y = 18x + 10
