<u>ANSWER: </u>
The values of x and p after solving given equations are 0.445 or 
and 260 respectively..
<u>SOLUTION:
</u>
Given, two proportions are 
=9 and 
We need to solve the given two proportions.
Let us solve the first proportion, = 9
On cross-multiplication, we get
4 
1 = 9x
4 = 9x
x =
x = 0.445
Now, let us solve the second proportion
On cross-multiplication, we get
p = 260
Hence, the values of x and p after solving given equations are 0.445 and 260 respectively.

In the picture.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope that helps.
In the given question, it is already mentioned that Pam takes 15 minutes to type 2.5 pages. this information should be used as the main information for reaching the desired answer.
Pam typed 2.5 pages in = 15 minutes
Then time taken by Pam to type 23 pages = (15/2.5) * 23
= 345/2.5
= 3450/25
= 138
So Pam will take 138 minutes to type 23 pages
The absolute value of a number is always positive, so it has to be above zero.
