Question

Find the value of x. Write an equation andsolve, showing ALL the work.

Answer 1

Given:

The objective is to find hte value of x.

The value of x can be calculated by basic proportionality theorem.

`(12)/(14)=(9)/(x)`

Thus, the required equation is obtained.

The value of x is,

`\begin{gathered} x=9\cdot(14)/(12) \\ x=(9\cdot14)/(12) \\ x=(126)/(12) \\ x=10.5 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the value of x is 10.5
