You asked:

Solve \(81 : 9=x : 22\) for the variable \(x\).

MathBot Answer:

$$\begin{aligned}x &= 198\end{aligned}$$


Express both ratios as fractions. \[\frac{81}{9} = \frac{x}{22}\]

Cross-multiply and solve for the unknown. $$\begin{aligned}\frac{81}{9} &= \frac{x}{22} \\ 1782 &= 9 x \\ x &&= 198 \end{aligned}$$
