Solve 8:4=x:7/6

$$8 : 4 = x : \frac { 7 } { 6 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{7}{3} = 2\frac{1}{3} \approx 2.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide 8 by 4 to get 2.

$$2=\frac{x}{\frac{7}{6}}$$

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

$$\frac{x}{\frac{7}{6}}=2$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{7}{6}.

$$x=2\times \frac{7}{6}$$

Express 2\times \frac{7}{6} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{2\times 7}{6}$$

Multiply 2 and 7 to get 14.

$$x=\frac{14}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{14}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=\frac{7}{3}$$
