x1= -20
x2= x2
y1= -15
y2= 12
x1 : x2 :: y1 : y2
-20 : x :: -15: 12
Means = x and -15
Extremes= -20 and 12
Product of mean = Product of extremes
-15x = -20*12
x = -240/-15
x2 = 16

Maybe i have that you wanted We can represent the situation like that: Y=-15 and x=-20 Then When y=12 x=? We make x(The unknown) *-15=12*(-20) We have an simple équation to solve Thus x=(12*(-20))/-15 X=16
