Question

If y = 6 when x = 24, what is the value of x when y = 7

Answer 1

We have: Y=6 n X=24 => X=4xY

So if Y=7 => X=28

Answer 2

You can solve this problem through using a proportion.

First, set up two equations that are based on $\frac{x}{y}$.

Your equation should be $\frac{24}{6} = \frac{x}{7}$. This is because you can substitute all the variables that are defined in their numbers. x is not determined.

You would have to continue solving through cross multiplication.

$\frac{24}{6} = \frac{x}{7}$

24 * 7 = 6 x

168=6x

x=28 is your final answer. Hope this helped!
