Question

Given that X : 24 = 6:X Calculate the positive value of x.

Answer 1

Answer:

X=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that: X:24 = 6:X

Then:

$\dfrac{X}{24}= \dfrac{6}{X}\\ Cross multiply\\X^2=24 \times 6\\X^2=144\\X=\pm\sqrt{144}\\X=\pm 12$

Since we require the positive value of X

X=12.
