It takes 24 people 4 hours to build a stage. how long will it take 18 people to build a stage

Create a proportion.

Cross multiply. (24 * x) = (4 * 18)

24x = 72

Divide both sides by 24.

x = 3

It will take 18 people to build a stage.

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10
