Answer:


x = 9

Explanation:

To find x, we first have to solve the equation given in the question:


(20)/(12) = (15)/(x)


20x = 15 \cdot 12


x = (180)/(20)


x = 9

Therefore, x = 9.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

x=9

Explanation:

We have:
(20)/(12)=
(15)/(x)

First, we can simplify 20/12 by 4


(5)/(3)=
(15)/(x)

this is a proportion, so we can cross multiply (multiply 5 by x and 3 by 15)

5x=45

divide by 5

x=9

Hope this helps!
