How to solve (3)/(5)=(x)/(15)

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$\frac{ 3 }{ 5 } = \frac{ x }{ 15 }$$

Solve for x

$x=9$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by $15$.

$$\frac{3}{5}\times 15=x$$

Express $\frac{3}{5}\times 15$ as a single fraction.

$$\frac{3\times 15}{5}=x$$

Multiply $3$ and $15$ to get $45$.

$$\frac{45}{5}=x$$

Divide $45$ by $5$ to get $9$.

$$9=x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x=9$$
