This is a ratio problem; the ratio of the length to width is constant (and therefore equal):
4 /6 = 15 / x
Now, with a ratio, we may do any allowable algebra operation: cross-multiply, invert both sides, multiply or divide both sides by the same amount, etc.
Let's cross-multiply:
4x = (15)(6)
x = 90/4
x = 22.5 in.

I'm also struggling with that too
Answer: total number of teaspoons of spices in the dish =3.25 teaspoons
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Listing the spices and their quantities , we have
Salt = 1/2 teaspoon
Orégano =1 1/4 teaspoon =5/4 teaspoons
Basil = 3/4 teaspoon
Pepper= in half as much pepper as salt -- This means that the quantity of pepper should be 50% more in quantity than salt
Therefore quantity of pepper = 50% x 1/2 = 0.5 x 0.5= 0.25
0.25 + 1/2 = 0.25 + 0.5 = 0.75 = 3/4 teaspoon of pepper.
Step 2
Adding the amount of spices we have
1/2 + 5/4+ 3/4+ 3/4 = 2+ 5+3+ 3/4 = 13/4 = 3 1/4 teaspoons of spices = 3.25 teaspoons of spices .
#33 x(2x - 5) = 12
The answer is x = 4
