Answer:

21

Explanation:

You take 24 and divide it by 72

24/72

=

1/3

or in decimal form

0.333333

Then you take 25 and divide it by 75

25/75

=

1/3

0.333333

This means now you can find x


Take 7 and divide it by x


7/x = 1/3

(it equals 1/3 because you are trying to get it to be the same as the other two sides)


Therefore x equals 21

You can check your answer by plugging in 21

7/21

=

1/3

0.333333
