   Please mark me as the Brainliest

   Step-by-step explanation:

   ( x + 5 ) : ( x + 9 ) = 2 : 3

   ( x + 5 ) / ( x + 9 ) = 2 / 3

   3x + 15 = 2x + 18

   3x – 2x = 18 – 15

   x = 3

2. Given:

   x + 5 : x + 9 = 2 : 3

   To Find:

   The value of x.

   Explanation:

   According to the question,

   x + 5 / x + 9 = 2 / 3

   By cross multiplication, we get

   3 ( x + 5 ) = 2 ( x + 9 )

   or, 3x + 15 = 2x + 18

   or, 3x – 2x = 18 – 15

   or, x = 3

   Answer:

   The value of x is 3. Hence, the correct option is B. 3
