Question

Find the value of $x$ in each of the following.

$\frac{3}{-x}=\frac{39}{52}$

Answer 1

Given,

$\frac{3}{x}=\frac{39}{52}$

Cross multiplying we get,

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 3\times 52=39\times x \\ \Rightarrow 156=39x \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{156}{39} \\ or,x=4 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the value of $x$is $4.$
