Solve for $x$:
$\frac{8}{12}=\frac{14}{x}$

Given:

$\frac{8}{12}=\frac{14}{x}$

To do:

We have to solve for $x$.

Solution:

$\frac{8}{12}=\frac{14}{x}$

$8\times x=14\times12$   (On cross multiplication)
$x=\frac{14\times12}{8}$

$x=\frac{14\times3}{2}$

$x=7\times3$

$x=21$
 The value of $x$ is $21$.
