Well, honey, all you gotta do is cross multiply like you're playing a game of mathematical hopscotch. Multiply 7 by 24 and set it equal to 8 times x. Then just solve for x by dividing both sides by 8. Voila, x is 21. But hey, don't come crying to me if you trip and fall while hopping through this proportion!
3a x 2a =24
-2x = -4x + 24 -2x + 4x = 24 2x = 24 x = 24/2 x = 12
7x+6 = -3x-24 7x+3x = -24-6 10x = -30 x = -3
to solve a proportion you have to set up a problem Ike this...24/65 = 12/x you fill in the missing variable with a letter.most common is x.the missing variable is the variable you are trying to solve for.now you do 24x/24 = 780/24 you do 24x and put 24 under it.now do 65 times 12which is 780.so you put 780 as the other fraction.now do 780 divided by 24 which is 325.so 325 is325 is the answer.That's how you solve proportions.
3/7=x/56 168=7x 24=x
b/6 = 4/5 This is a proportion, so first you cross-multiply. 5b = 24 Once you get to this form, divide by 5 on both sides. b = 24/5

17/29 = 24/n n*17/29 = 24 n*17 = 24*29 n = 24*29/17 n = 40.94117647
3x=24 x=8
The best way to do this is use the general rule that you cross multiply and solve the resulting equation. The are other ways, but this one always works. Taking the top of the left by the bottom of the right, you get 4*54=216 Taking the bottom of the left by the top of the right, you get 9x 9x=216 x = 24◄
X is 6
x = -8
x + 3/8 = 5/12 x + 9/24 = 10/24 x + 9/24 - 9/24 = 10/24 - 10/24 x = 1/24
3a x 2a =24
