Answer 2

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators

4/5 = x/15

15 ⋅ 4/5 = 15 ⋅ x/15

cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator

15 ⋅ 4/5 = 15 ⋅ x/15

15 ⋅ 4/5 = x

multiply the numbers

15 ⋅ 4/5 = x

12 = x

move the variable to the left

x = 12
