Question

Find the value of x

Please help

Answer 1

x = 18

Explanation:

60 / 27 = 80 / 2x ---- ( by B.P.T )

2x = 27 × 80 ÷ 60

2x = 36

x = 36÷2

x = 18

Answer 2

80/60 = (80 + 2x)/(60 + 27)
80/60 = (80 + 2x)/87
4/3 = (80 + 2x)/87
3 . (80 + 2x) = 4 . 87
240 + 6x = 348
6x = 348 - 240
6x = 108
x = 18
