Accepted Solution

A:
1.) set up a w_k_u chart
2.) in the w column write in on top and mi in the bottom like this
w_K_U
in_
mi_
then in the k column write 2 for in and 15 for mi
W_K_U
in_2_
mi_15_
then in the U column, you write 7 for in and x for mi
W_K_U
in_2_7
mi_15_x
then cross multiply:  2x = 15(7)
multiply 15 times 7 which is 105
2x=105
divide 2x by 2
x=105 
answer 105
