Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: x = 16

Discussion:


We are told that

y/x = 3/4

If y = 12, then

12/x = 3/4. Multiply both sides by "x" :

(12/x) * x = (3/4) * x =>

12 = (3/4) *x. Multiply both sides by (4/3)

12* (4/3) = (3/4) * (4/3) * x =>

48/3 = x =>

x = 16



Thank you,

MrB

12 to 16 because all ratios are equivalent
