There are 16 fruits in each of the boxes found under the stairs.
<h3>What is an
equation?</h3>
An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.
Let x represent the number of pears, hence:
Number of fruit in first box = 12 + (1/9)x
Number of fruit in second box = number of fruit in third box = (8/9)x ÷ 2 = (4/9)x
Therefore:
12 + (1/9)x = (4/9)x
x = 36
First box = second box = third box = (4/9) * 36 = 16
There are 16 fruits in each of the boxes found under the stairs.

Your answer would be x=-10.5
First distribute -2/3 to 3x and -9
-2x+6=15
Then subtract 6 from both sides
-2x=9
Divide both sides by -2
x=-4.5
For the most part, the cross-section formed is a <em>trapezoid</em>, but if the slice passes through the apex of the pyramid, that shape is a <em>triangle</em>.
