L1/W1 = L2/W2
L1,W1 = length, breadth of one rectangle

kinda

Answer 10

2x/15=3x-9/13 is that the ratio?

Answer 11

3x - 9/ 15 = 2x/ 13
-> 13 ( 3x - 9 ) = 30x
--> 39x - 30x = 117
=> x = 117/ 9 = 13

Answer 12

oh no! 2x is the width of one rect. while 15 is the length of the other! these two are NOT corresponding sides.
width corresponds to width
length corresponds to length
