Question

Solving proportions 4/3=8/x

Answer 1

`(4)/(3)` =
`(8)/(x)` should be x = 6.

First, multiply both sides by x. Your problem should look like:
`(4)/(3) x` = 8
Second, simplify
`(4)/(3) x` to
`(4x)/(3)`. Your problem should look like:
`(4x)/(3)` = 8.
Third, multiply both sides by 3. Your problem should look like: 4x = 24.
Fourth, divide both sides by 4. Your problem should look like: x =
`(24)/(4)`.
Fifth, simplify
`(24)/(4)` to 6. Your problem should look like: x = 6, which is your answer.

Answer 2

two ways:


`(4)/(3) = (8)/(x)` cross multiply
4x = 3*8
4x = 24
x = 6


`(4)/(3) * \frac{2}{} = (8)/(x)`

`(4)/(3) * (2)/(2) = (8)/(6)`

The answer is 6
