a) \(\frac{x}{6}^2=\frac{24}{25}\)
\(\Rightarrow x^2.25=6.24\)
\(\Rightarrow x^2.25=144\)
\(\Rightarrow x^2=144\div25\)
\(\Rightarrow x^2=5,76=2,4^2=\left(-2,4^2\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow x\in\left\{2,4;-2,4\right\}\)
Vậy \(x\in\left\{2,4;-2,4\right\}\)
b) \(\frac{72-x}{7}=\frac{x-40}{9}\)
\(\Rightarrow\left(72-x\right).9=\left(x-40\right).7\)
\(\Rightarrow648-9x=7x-280\)
\(\Rightarrow\left(-280\right)-648\) \(=-9x-7x\)
\(\Rightarrow-928=-16x\)
\(\Rightarrow x=58\)
Vậy \(x=58\)
