This is one proportion that can be created from the given information

.
You would then use cross product to solve it. Also reduce 36/24 to 3/2
3(3x + 7) = 2(6x - 6)
9x + 21 = 12x - 12
33 = 3x I subtracted 9x from both sides and added 12 to both sides
11 = x
In mathematics, two variables areproportional if there is always aconstant ratio between them. Theconstant is called the coefficient ofproportionality or proportionality constant. ... x and y are directlyproportional if the ratio yx is constant.
In other words, the constant of proportionality is also the slope, **m**, rate of change, etc.
