How to solve 6/24 = x/100? Get the answer and stepwise instruction to solve linear equation in one variable 𝒙.
We have 624 = x100
Cross multiplying the ratios, gives
6 × 100 = 24x
or, 24x = 6 × 100
Divide both sides by 24, which is the coefficient of x
Note: if a = b, then a ÷ c = b ÷ c
Therefore, 24x24 = 6 × 10024
x = 60024
To simplify, divide both numerator and denominator by 24, which is the GCF of 600 and 24:
x = 251 or, x = 25
