$\"8%2Fx=32%2F24\"$ First take the reciprocal of both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2F8=24%2F32\"$ Multiply both sides by 8
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=24%288%29%2F32\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=192%2F32\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=6\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Alternate method
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8%2Fx=32%2F24\"$ The right side can be simplified
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8%2Fx=8%2F6\"$ Since the numerators are equal the denominators have to be equal
\n" ); document.write( "therefore x = 6 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
