Question

20/12=15/x find x plz help

Answer 1

`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 2

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!
