Question

48/8=42/x
x=42
x=7
x=8
x=6

Answer 1

x=7

Step -by -step explanation:

Given that,

`(48)/(8)= (42)/(x)`

We first simplify the left hand side of the equation to obtain

`6=(42)/(x)`

we then cross multiply to get

`6x=42`

We divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x (i.e 6) to get the value of x.

`\implies(6x)/(6)=(42)/(6)`

Therefore,

`x=7`
