Answer:
<h2><em><u>
20 is the answer.</u></em></h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>1. Make a proportion.</u></em>
Set the numbers equal to each other.
I chose the numbers 9, 12, 15, and of course x.
Make the fractions in a way that the x is in the numerator if you want to make your life easier.
15/9 = x/12
<em><u>2. Simplify</u></em>
Cross multiply the numbers.
This will give you the equation of
9*x and 15*12
<em><u>3. Make an equation</u></em>
Simplify the numbers by mulitplying them
9x = 180
<em><u>4. Divide both sides by 9</u></em>
9x = 180
/9 /9
<h2><em><u>
x = 20
</u></em></h2>
<em><u></u></em>
