Solve for x.
x/14=4/7

4*14 divided by 7 will give you x

Answer 2

Answer 3

oh okay. thank you!

Answer 4

multiply both sides by 14

Answer 5

so it would be x time 14= 4/7 times 14??

Answer 6

no you have
\[\frac{x}{14}\] so
\[\frac{x}{14}\times 14=x\] on the left, then
\[\frac{4}{7}\times 14\] on the right

Answer 7

or maybe this is easier:
\[\frac{x}{14}=\frac{4}{7}=\frac{8}{14}\implies x = 8\]

Answer 8
