x=24
Answer:
The value of x in the given phrase is 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given phrase,
2 over 10 equals 3 over quantity x minus 9
[tex]\frac{2}{10}=\frac{3}{x-9}[/tex]
By cross multiplication,
[tex]2x-18=30[/tex]
Adding 18 on both sides,
[tex]2x=48[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2,
[tex]x=24[/tex]
Hence, the value of x is 24.
