Question

If 14:15=42:x find the value of x​

Answer 1

Answer:
45

Solution: you can use the above method or you can cross multiply. That’s mean multiplying the numerator of the left side by the denomination of the right. And the denominator on the left by the numerator on the right (it makes an x shape). Therefore, your algebraic equation should look like this and solve for x

14x=15*42
14x=630
X=630/14
X=45

Answer 2

Answer:

x=45

Explanation:

by taking 42 and dividing it by 14 you get 1/3, because 14 is 1/3 of 42 you can then see that the ratio is multiplied by 3. si then you can just multiply 15 by 3 to get 45
