3 over 5 x minus 15 = 6 over 5 x plus 12
3/5x - 15 = 6/5x +12
-3/5x+3/5x-15=6/5x-3/5x+12 subtraction property
-15=3/5x+12 simplified
-12-15=3/5x+12-12 subtraction property
-27=3/5x simplified
(5/3)(-27)=3/5 (5/3)x multiplicative inverse
-45=x
Answer:
2 1/3 times as far
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of distances is ...
(Monday distance) / (Tuesday distance) = (6 2/9)/(2 2/3)
= (56/9)/(8/3) = (56·3)/(8·9) = 7/3 = 2 1/3
They hiked 2 1/3 times as far on Monday as they did on Tuesday.

You use the distributive property
The generalization that can be made from this study is that: Given the choice of a banana or an apple, twice as many shoppers will select an apple.
<h3>How to arrive at the generalization.</h3>
More of the shoppers are said to select an apple from the group of shoppers who are to but either banana or apple.
Those buying an apple are two times the people buying the banana, hence we can conclude that twice as many shoppers would choose the apple over banana.
