2x/7 = 12/14
Multiply both sides of the equation by 7:
2x = 84/14
Simplify:
2x = 6
Divide both sides by 2 and your answer is....
x = 3
to find the area of a rectangle is LxW=A
plug in the given numbers you have
L = 7
W = x-8
A = 42
7 * x-8 = 42
7x-56= 42
solve for X
Do cross multiply or butterfly.
For example first one.
18/x=6/10 So cross multiply 18×10 =6x
180=6x
Divide both sides by 6 to get x alone
180÷6=30
So x =30 Do the same to rest
The solution step by step. 43 comes from adding all the given numbers together.
