Respuesta :

2/x = 12/18
cross multiply
(12)(x) = (18)(2)
12x = 36
x = 36/12
x = 3

The Corrected Problem is :

2:x and 12:18 identify the value of x that makes each pair of ratios equivalent .

Solution:

If a pair of Ratios are equivalent then we can write

[tex] \frac{2}{x}=\frac{12}{18}\\
\\
\text{Simplify we get}\\
\\
12x=36\\
\\
\text{Divide both the sides by 12 we get}\
\\
\\
\frac{12x}{12}=\frac{36}{12}\\
\\
x=3\\
\\
\text{Hence the required value of x is 3}\\ [/tex]
