Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{80}{120} = \frac{2}{x}[/tex]

Simplify, divide the numerator and denominator by the same number

[tex]\frac{80}{120}\\[/tex]

÷ 40

[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{3} = \frac{2}{x}[/tex]

Cross products

[tex]2x = 2 *3\\2x = 6\\/2 /2\\\\x = 3[/tex]
