6/x=7/x+3 select the value of x?

Posted at: 2014-12-05 
To answer it needs to be confirmed if the value X+3 is completely in dividend of 7. If so then Meg ans is correct i.e. 18, if not then Wayne Z is correct with -1/3.

Use cross-multiplication.

For example: a/b = c/d would cross multiply out to ad = bc

In this case, that means 6(x+3) = 7x which is the same as 6x + 18 = 7x, or x =18

- 1/3
