Answer:


\boxed{x=24}

Explanation:


\displaystyle (x)/(32) =(15)/(20)


\sf Cross \ multiply.


20 * x=32 * 15


20x=480


\sf Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 20.


\displaystyle (20x)/(20) =(480)/(20)


x=24

Answer: x = 24

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for x in the given proportion, we use the means-extremes property.

The product of the extremes, (x)(20),

equals the product of the means, (32)(15).

So we have (x)(20) or 20x equals (32)(15) or 480.

So we have 20x = 480.

Dividing both sides by 20, x = 24.
