Answer:
x=7
Step -by -step explanation:
Given that,
[tex] \frac{48}{8}= \frac{42}{x} [/tex]
We first simplify the left hand side of the equation to obtain
[tex]6=\frac{42}{x} [/tex]
we then cross multiply to get
[tex]6x=42[/tex]
We divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x (i.e 6) to get the value of x.
[tex] \implies\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{42}{6} [/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]x=7[/tex]
