Solving proportions 4/3=8/x

Two ways:

 cross multiply
4x = 3*8
4x = 24
x = 6




The answer is 6

 =  should be x = 6.

First, multiply both sides by x. Your problem should look like:  = 8
Second, simplify  to . Your problem should look like:  = 8.
Third, multiply both sides by 3. Your problem should look like: 4x = 24.
Fourth, divide both sides by 4. Your problem should look like: x = .
Fifth, simplify  to 6. Your problem should look like: x = 6, which is your answer. 

Two because two of one thing is two.
