Question

Find the value of X* X= X х 8 12

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a proportion question.

8/x = 12/(12 + 6)

8/x = 12/18             Reduce the right hand side

8/x = 2/3                Cross multiply

2x = 8*3                 Combine the right side

2x = 24                  Divide by 2

x = 24/2

x = 12
