x = 12

cross multiply:
x * 9 = 27 * 4

simplifying
x * 9 = 27 * 4

reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
9x = 27 * 4

multiply 27 * 4
9x = 108

solving
9x = 108

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

divide each side by '9'.
x = 12

simplifying
x = 12
