Make a horizontal line on the paper. You may draw arrows on the ends of the line to indicate it is a number line that continues past your data sample.
Put the label "X" to the right of the line to indicate the x axis.
Mark the center of the line with a vertical tick mark and label it 0. This is the origin of the graph.
Make equally spaced tick marks on the rest of the x axis. For this example you should label the tick marks from 1 to 10 on the right side of the 0.
They are similar. Set the proportions equal to each other
(x + 8)/8 = (x+14)/12
Cross multiply
(x + 8)/8 (8)(12) = (x + 14)/12 (12)(8)
12(x + 8) = 8(x + 14)
Distribute the 12 and 8 to the corresponding monomials inside the parenthesis
12(x + 8) = 12x + 96
8(x + 14) = 8x + 112
12x + 96 = 8x + 112
Isolate the x. Subtract 8x from both sides and 96 from both sides
12x (-8x) + 96 (-96) = 8x (-8x) + 112 (-96)
12x - 8x = 112 - 96
4x = 16
Isolate the equal sign. Divide 4 from both sides
4x/4 = 16/4
x = 16/4
x = 4
