\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x + 84)/(70) = (x - 29)/(61).\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Second, this is a proportion, so cross multiply: Numerator on the left times denominator on the right is equal to denominator on the left times numerator on the right. That gives you a linear equation in that can be solved by ordinary means.\r
