42

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did u solve it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14/105=x/315 14=x/3 (divide both sides by 105) x/3=14 (swap sides) x/3*3=14*3 (Multiply both sides by 3, cancels /3) x=14*3 x = 42

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you divide by the reciprocal in the second step? so like\[\frac{ 14 }{ 105} \div \frac{ 105 }{ 14 } \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, you just divide both sides by 105... 105/105 = 1 315/105 = 3 14(1)=x/(3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14/105=x/315 105 * x = 14 * 315 105 * x = 4410 x = 4410/105 x = 42 ------------this is final answer.
