math problems, i went to florida and missed two weeks of school so my teachers had not taught me this math yet so i don't really know how to do it. two different problems im stuck on, you'll prolly lol at this but anyways.

9 15
- = -
x 2

In word form 9 over x is equal to 15 over 2

the other one is

y 6
- = -
5 17

please help.

You have to cross multiply. You are solving for the variable. so first one is. 9/x = 15/2 you can do 15 . x=15x then 9 . 2 = 18. so it's 15x = 18 divide both sides by 15.
Another way to do it is second problem. 5 . 6 / 17 gives you x.

okay ty appreciate it.

I'll assume that this is answered then?

pm me if you need it re-opened
