# 1

37%2Fd=74%2F46 Start with the given proportion


37=%2874%2F46%29%2Ad Multiply both sides by d


37%2A46=74%2Ad Multiply both sides by 46


1702=74%2Ad Multiply


1702%2F74=d Divide both sides by 74


23=d Reduce


So our answer is d=23

====================================
# 2

76%2Fx=38%2F28 Start with the given proportion


76=%2838%2F28%29%2Ax Multiply both sides by x


76%2A28=38%2Ax Multiply both sides by 28


2128=38%2Ax Multiply


2128%2F38=x Divide both sides by 38


56=x Simplify


So our answer is x=56
