Hii!

Answer:

x=48! ^^

Explanation:

Let's work this out by using a skill that is known as "cross-multiplying".

Let me demonstrate this below...

`\boxed{\boldsymbol{\cfrac{2}{7}=\cfrac{14}{x}}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\Huge\textbf{X}`

We multiply 2 times x & 7 times 14...

`\boldsymbol{2x=98}`

...and divide both sides by 2 to solve for the variable, x.

`\boldsymbol{x=48}`

Hope that this helped! Best wishes.
