\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"-3x%2F8=-15%2F32\"$ Start with the given ratio\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28-3x%29%2832%29=%28-15%29%288%29\"$ Cross multiply\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"-96x=-120\"$ Multiply\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=%28-120%29%2F%28-96%29\"$ Divide both sides by $\"-96\"$ to isolate $\"x\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=5%2F4\"$ Reduce.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
