(28)/x =(24)/(x-12)

\frac{28}{x} = \frac{24}{x - 12}

x = 84

Solution steps

\frac{28}{x} = \frac{24}{x - 12}

Cross multiply

28 x - 336 = x \cdot 24

Move

336

to the right side

28 x = x \cdot 24 + 336

Move

x 24

to the left side

4 x = 336

Divide both sides by

4

x = 84

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 0, x = 12

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 84

\frac{8}{y} = \frac{2}{y - 2} + 1

\frac{6}{x + 5} = \frac{3}{x - 10}

\frac{x}{3} - \frac{6}{x} = 1

\frac{28}{420} = \frac{35}{x}

\frac{10}{1 + x + x ^{2}} = 6 - x - x^{2}
