This is a ratios question.
6:8 is equivalent to 24:???, find the unknown.
I always prefer to think of a ratio as a fraction.
The above question is just the same as asking
6/8 = 24/???, find ???.
More mathematically,
6/8=24/x, find x
we just need to do a bit of algebra to find that x = 24*8/6 = 32
Too easy. You can possibly visualise the answer in your head. 6 people to 8 people, 24 people to 32 people...does this feel like similar ratios??? It certainly does to me
8 x 7 - 6 x 4 equals a total of 32. To solve it, you can solve 8 x 7, which is 56, and then 6 x 4, which is 24. All you have to do then is subtract 56 - 24, and that gives you a total of 32.
3x=24 x=8
x = -8
4x = 24 x = 24 ÷ 4 x = 6
X and Y could equal any number of things. For instance, if x=6 and y=0, then that will equal 24. Or if x=8 and y=2, then that will equal 24.
8 x 7 - 6 x 4 equals a total of 32. To solve it, you can solve 8 x 7, which is 56, and then 6 x 4, which is 24. All you have to do then is subtract 56 - 24, and that gives you a total of 32.
24x = 6 x = 6/24 x = 1/4
3x=24 x=8
x = -8
X is 6
4x = 24 x = 24 ÷ 4 x = 6
8 x 3 x (6 - 5) = 24 6 x 8 ÷ (5 - 3) = 24
X and Y could equal any number of things. For instance, if x=6 and y=0, then that will equal 24. Or if x=8 and y=2, then that will equal 24.
To solve for x: 2x2 + 10 = 58 2x2 = 48 x2 = 24 x = √24 x = √4 × √6 x = 2√6
8 x (8 + 1 - 6) = 8 x 3 = 24
4/6=x/24 96=6x 16=x
Multiply 24 x 20 = 480, and 24 x 8 = 192, 480 + 192 = 680 - 8 = 672
