We have 1062 = 12x
Cross multiplying the ratios, gives
10x = 62 × 12
Divide both sides by 10, which is the coefficient of x
Note: if a = b, then a ÷ c = b ÷ c
Therefore, 10x10 = 62 × 1210
x = 74410
To simplify, divide both numerator and denominator by 2, which is the GCF of 744 and 10:
x = 3725 or, x = 74.4
