**Must show work! (Metals)

Answer 1

did I not get it right?

Answer 2

The answer is correct but I still don't get it, it would be better if you show the work so I can understand me and it does because it helps me.

Answer 3

i did show the work...

Answer 4

It doesn't look like showing work.

Answer 5

here:
9/6 = 12/x ~ AB/XY = AC/XZ (Original Equation)
72 = 9x (Cross Multiply)
8 = x (Simplify by dividing both sides by 9)

Answer 6

that work?

Answer 7

Hmm, I guess. But I kinda understand.. but can you draw it out?

Answer 8

sure
