Answer:

X=12

Step-by-step explanation:

X/24=6/X

X•X=24x6

X•X=12x2x6

X=12

Answer 2

Given:

x : 24 = 6 : x

We have to find, the positive value of x.

Solution:

∴ x : 24 = 6 : x

⇒ $\dfrac{x}{24}$ = $\dfrac{6}{x}$

By cross-multiplication, we get

x × x = 6 × 24

⇒ $x^{2}$ = 144

⇒ $x^{2}$  = $12^2$

⇒ x = 12

∴ The positive value of x = 12

Thus, the positive value of "x is 12".
