Question

find the value of x in the following
x:14=2:4​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

$x$:14=2:4

formula: product of means = product of extremes

4×$x$=14×2

$4x$=28

transpose 4 from L.H.S to R.H.S

we get $x$=28÷4

then $x$=7

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of x is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

In context to the question asked,

We have to find the value of x,

As per the data given in the question,

It is given that

$x:14=2:4$

In the form of fraction it is written as:

$\frac{x}{14} =\frac{2}{4}$

Now, by using the cross multiplication method.

=> $x$ $\times$ 4 =  14 $\times$ 2

Multiplying the terms, we get

=> 4$x$ = 28

Divide both sides by 4,

=> $x$ = 7

Hence, the required solution is 7.
