Question

6/27 = 4/x
Find the answer, hint- 6x = 27x4
then divide 6 by 27x4

Answer 1

Answer: 18

Explanation

​

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 27x, the least common multiple of 27,x.

x × 6=27 × 4

Multiply 27 and 4 to get 108.

x × 6=108

Divide both sides by 6.

x= 108/6

​

Divide 108 by 6 to get 18.

x=18
