Solve 75divx=24div12

$$75 \div x = 24 \div 12$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{75}{2} = 37\frac{1}{2} = 37.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 12x, the least common multiple of x,12.

$$12\times 75=x\times 24$$

Multiply 12 and 75 to get 900.

$$900=x\times 24$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x\times 24=900$$

Divide both sides by 24.

$$x=\frac{900}{24}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{900}{24} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 12.

$$x=\frac{75}{2}$$
