Question

what would the next step be to solve for X

Answer 1

$\frac{10}{12}=\frac{8}{x}$

Step 1: We cross-multiply;

$\begin{gathered} 10\times x=8\times12 \\ 10x=96 \end{gathered}$

Step 2: We divide both sides by 10;

$\begin{gathered} \frac{10x}{10}=\frac{96}{10} \\ x=9.6 \end{gathered}$

ANSWER: x=9.6
