To find the x-value of a point with a y-value of 18, we need to determine the ratio of x-values to y-values. Since the ratio of y-values is 2 to 3, the corresponding ratio of x-values will also be 2 to 3.
We can set up a proportion using the ratio of x-values and y-values:
x / 18 = 2 / 3
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
3x = 18 * 2
3x = 36
Dividing both sides by 3, we find:
x = 12
Therefore, the x-value of the point with a y-value of 18 is 12.
