The strings cost $14. you would take the total cost ($72) and subtract the cost of the book ($16) and you would get $56. you would then divide 56 by the number of book bought (4 in all) and you would get $14.
They are not in proportion, since its 6:9 round it down (2:3) so pretend the 6 are apples and the 9 are oranges
Every 2 apples there are 3 oranges
So having 9 apples what is that?
2 x ? = 9
2 x 4.5 = 9
So if you want to keep 2:3 you have you times the oranges by 4.5 aswell!
3 x 4.5 = 13.5
So since it is 9:12 not 9:13.5 they are not in proportion
Answer:
x = 4 or x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:

Take square both the sides,

x² - x - 12 = 0
x² - 4x + 3x - 3*4 =0
x*(x - 4) + 3*(x - 4)= 0
(x- 4 )(x+3) =0
x -4 =0 or x + 3 = 0
x = 4 or x = -3
