Question

If56/35 = 9/xFind the value of x

Answer 1

Given that

`(56)/(35)\text{ = }(9)/(x)`

We are required to find the value of x.

First, multiply both side by 35x

`\begin{gathered} 56x\text{= 9}*35 \\ 56x\text{ = }315 \end{gathered}`

Next, divide both sides by 56

`\begin{gathered} x\text{ = }(315)/(56) \\ x\text{ = }5.625 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the value of x is 5.625
