[tex]\large\text{Hey there!}[/tex]
[tex]\large\text{Step 1: You have to \underline{\bf{CROSS MULTIPLY}}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{14}{x}=\dfrac{56}{16}}\\\\\mathsf{14\times16=56\times x}\\\\\mathsf{14(16)= \ \bf{\underline{224}}}\\\\\mathsf{56(x)=\underline{\bf{56x}}}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\text{We get: \bf{\underline{224 = 56x}}}[/tex]
[tex]\large\text{Step 2: }\large\text{\bf{\underline{FLIP}}}\large\text{ the new equation around}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\text{\bf{\underline{56x = 224}}}[/tex]
[tex]\large\text{Step 3: \bf{\underline{DIVIDE}}}\large\text{ both of your sides by 56}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{56x}{56}=\dfrac{224}{56}}\\\\\mathsf{Cancel\ out: \dfrac{56x}{56}\ because\ that\ gives\ us\ 1}\\\\\mathsf{Keep: \dfrac{224}{56}\ because\ it\ gives you\ the\ value\ of\ x }\\\\\mathsf{\dfrac{224}{56}=4}\\\\\mathsf{x=4}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\large\text{So, the reason why x = 4 for this equation is because } \mathsf{\dfrac{14}{4}}\ \& \ \dfrac{56}{16}\ \large\text{ are equal to each}}\\\boxed{\large\text{other. }}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{14}{4} = 3.5}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{56}{16} = 3.5}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\text{\bf{3.5 = 3.5}} \ \checkmark[/tex]
[tex]\large\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}[/tex]
