Question

Algebra 1 help

Answer 1

6/x = 15/5

solve for x

Answer 2

Thank you. I got 18! Thank you so much!

Answer 3

it's not 18

6/x = 15/5

6*5 = 15x

30 = 15x

15x = 30

x = 30/15

x = 2

Answer 4

Okay. I must have switched the numbers around by accident. Thank you!

Answer 5

I can see why you wanted to say 18 though, you tripled 6 to get 18

but instead, you divide 6/3 to get 2

Answer 6

I did this:

6 x 6/x = 15/5
x = 90/5
90 divided by 5 = 18
x = 18.

I know the answer is wrong, but that is how I got it. Thank you for showing me how to do it right!

Answer 7

ah i see how you got it now, glad to be of help
