make 21/24 into its lowest term by dividing both numbers by their highest common factor, in this case 3. so 21/3 = 7 and 24/3 = 8 so 21/24 = 7/8
if 7/8 = x/8 then multiply both sides by 8 to give x = 7

(21/24) = (x/8)
(21/24) reduces to (7/8)
x = 7
if it didn't just cross multiply
24x = 168
divide both sides by 24
x = 7
