Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve this.  The ratio has to stay constant if they are proportional.  Put y in the numerator and x in the denominator.

         7         21

        ----- = ----

        2          x

We can solve using cross products.

7*x =2 *21

7x = 42

Divide each side by 7

7x/7 = 42/7

x =6
