9 over x = 15 over 25
what is x?
Cross multiply.
9/x = 15/25
15x = 225
x = 225/15
x = ?
x= 15?
Right.
Let's check it out.
9/15 = 3/5
15/25 = 3/5
thank you ms sue.. i askeed my dad and he was like i don't see why u don't understand this blah blah blah... u r so much help =)
You're welcome. And thanks. :-)
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply.
First, we'll write the equation in the form of a proportion:
9/x = 15/25
Next, cross-multiply by multiplying the numerator of the left side with the denominator of the right side, and vice versa:
9 * 25 = 15 * x
Simplifying the equation gives:
225 = 15x
To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 15:
225/15 = x
This further simplifies to:
15 = x
Therefore, x is equal to 15.
