Answer 6

you should cross multiply:\[{5\over72}={50\over x}~~~~~\implies~~~~~{6x=72\times50}\]now just solve for x

Answer 7

72X50=3600 THEN DIVIDE? 6/3600 AND THAT EQUALS 600? RIGHT :P i hatee math lol

Answer 10

BREJA..FOCUZZ O_O

\[6x=72\times50\]solve for x:\[6x=3600\]\[x={{\cancel{3600}^{600}}\over{\cancel6}^1}\]\[x=600\]you have to do 3600/6 not 6/3600
