Answer:
It's a proportion.
2 is to x as 15 is to 9, or 2/x = 15/9.
Multiply the means and extremes
15x = 18
divide both sides by 15 to get x by itself.
x = 1.2
Step-by-step explanation:
5+x=32
x= the number of apples Sarah had before
5+x=32
subtract 5 from both sides
x=27
25/5 as a mixed number would be 5.
