Can anyone help?

Answer 1

(27-x)/27 = 12/36

solve for x

Answer 2

@Athentsu TO find x, you need to:
\[\frac{ 12 }{ 27-x }=\frac{ 24 }{ x }\]Cross multiply: \[12x=648-24x\]Combine like terms: \[36x=648\]\[x=18\]
To find y, follow these:
\[\frac{ 24 }{ 14 }=\frac{ y }{ 9 }\]\[14y=216\]\[y=15.43\]
