The real way is to subtract the term with the variable on the right first, but both Spencer and Jeremiah are correct. When you do them both, they arrive at the same answer, only that Spencer's would be 2/5, and Jeremiah's would be -2/-5, which is 2/5, because you divide negative by a negative. It doesn't matter which term with the variable you would cancel out first. Either way, you still arrive at the correct answer.

What is the question asking
Answer:
Given
Number of stacks = 2
Stack 1 = 6 cups; h1 = 15cm
Stack 2 = 12 cups; h2 = 23cm
Let's first find the average:
With an average of 4/3, to obtain the number of cups needed to obtain a height of 50m, we have:
50 / (4/3)
= 50 * 3/4
= 150/4
= 37.5
From the answer, we can see that the number of cups is not really proportional to the height of the stack, because the average of stack one and stack 2 are different.
