We can set up a proportion: \(\dfrac{7}{21} = \dfrac{x}{27}\) Cross multiply. 21 * x 7 * 27

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you multiply 21 * x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i mean yes still 21x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, you got it. Now multiply 7 * 27

OpenStudy (anonymous):

189

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so we have: \(21x = 189\) Now we divide 21 to both sides, what's 189 / 21?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, that's our answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
