Answer 1

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Set up a proportion:

32             (32 + x)

------   =      ------------

24             (24 + 9)

2. Cross-multiply & solve for x:

32*(24 + 9)    =     24*(32 + x)

1056     =     768 + 24x

288      =      24x

    12     =       x

    x     =   12
