2x-18=30

2x=30+18

2x=48

x=24

Answer 2

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

$\frac{2}{10}=\frac{3}{x-9}$

By cross multiplication,

$2x-18=30$

Adding 18 on both sides,

$2x=48$

Divide both sides by 2,

$x=24$

Hence, the value of x is 24.
