Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3=8/x+6

Using cross products

2 * (x+6) = 3*8

2(x+6) = 24

Divide by 2

x+6 =12

Subtract 6

x = 6

Answer:

x = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we simply need to isolate x in the equation using properties of equations.  For this equation, we will use addition and multiplication properties.

(2/3) = (8/x) + 6

(2/3) + -6 = (8/x) + 6 + -6

(2/3) + -6 = (8/x)

(1/8) * [(2/3) + -6] = (8/x) * (1/8)

(1/8) * [(2/3) + -6] = (1/x)

(1/8) * [(2/3) + (-18/3)] = (1/x)

(1/8) * [-16/3] = (1/x)

(1 * -16) / (3 * 8) = (1/x)

(-2/3) = (1/x)

x * (-2/3) = (1/x) * x

(-2x/3) = 1

(-3/2) * (-2x/3) = 1 * (-3/2)

x = (-3/2)

x = -3/2

What percentage of the mile times range from 7.25 to 9.375?
Step2247 [10]

1. We assume, that the number 9.375 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 9.375 is 100%, so we can write it down as 9.375=100%.

4. We know, that x is 7.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.25%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 9.375=100%

2) x=7.25%

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

9.375/x=100%/7.25%

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 7.25% of 9.375

9.375/x=100/7.25

(9.375/x)*x=(100/7.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

9.375=13.793103448276*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.793103448276) to get x

9.375/13.793103448276=x

0.6796875=x

x=0.6796875

now we have:

7.25% of 9.375=0.6796875
