<PRE><B>Question 222812</B>
{{{6/14 = 7/(x-3)}}} 


What is x?


{{{3/7=7/(x-3)}}}


Multiply 7(x-3) to both sides to get rid of denominators


{{{7(x-3)*3/7=7*7(x-3)/(x-3)}}}


{{{3(x-3)=49}}}


{{{3x-9=49}}}


Add 9 to both sides of the equation


{{{3x-9+9=49+9}}}


{{{3x=58}}}


Divide by 3 to both sides of the equation


{{{3x/3=58/3}}}


{{{x=58/3}}}


ANSWER:  {{{x=58/3}}}


I hope the above steps were helpful.
