Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know which one you are supposed to solve it by so I will do both.

Solution by Cross Multiplication

For the equation

7x=24

The cross product is

7×4=x×2

Solving for x

x=7×42

and reducing

x=14

Solution by Proportion

Since the equation is an equality

7 ÷ 2 = 3.5

Then it is true that

x ÷ 4 = 3.5

Solving for x

x = 4 × 3.5

x = 14

7/x = 2/4

2x = 28 (7×4=28)

× = 14 (28÷2=14)

So your answer is 14

Answer:

26 wins , 14 ties

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Hockey teams receive $2$ points when they win and $1$ point when they tie. One season, a team won a championship with $66$ points. They won $12$ more games than they tied.

To Find: How many wins and how many ties did the team have.

Solution:

let the number of wins hockey team have $=\text{x}$

let the number of ties hockey team have $=\text{y}$

Now,

Hockey teams receive $2$ points when they win and $1$ point when they tie.

$2\text{x}+\text{y}=66$

They won $12$ more games than they tied

$\text{x}-\text{y}=12$

Solving both equations we get

$\text{x}=26$

$\text{y}=14$

Hence, the hockey team have $26$ wins and $14$ ties.

The constant of proportionality is the ratio between two directly proportional quantities. Two quantities are directly proportional when they increase and decrease at the same rate. The constant of proportionality k is given by k=y/x where y and x are two quantities that are directly proportional to each other.
