The value of x = 18
explanation:
12/x = 6/9
x = 18
You read 2/5 of the remainder on Sunday. That means 3/5 of the remainder are unread (1- 2/5). It is given that 36 pages are unread. Therefore 3/5 of the remainder is equal to 36. Set up equation and solve for x which will be the remainder
3/5x=36
x=36(5/3)
x=60
LCM 14 & 24 = 168
then use the highest exponents for the variables
answer = 168x^6y^6z^8
