Answer 1

Given:

x + 5 : x + 9 = 2 : 3

To Find:

The value of x.

Explanation:

According to the question,

x + 5 / x + 9 = 2 / 3

By cross multiplication, we get

3 ( x + 5 ) = 2 ( x + 9 )

or, 3x + 15 = 2x + 18

or, 3x - 2x = 18 - 15

or, x = 3

Answer:

The value of x is 3. Hence, the correct option is B. 3

3x - 2x = 18 - 15

x = 3
