Let x be the number of pens in a box.
Jill : three full boxes of pen and 2 loose pens. 3x + 2
Ben: two full boxes of pen and 14 loose pens. 2x + 14
Jill and Ben have the same pens.
Jill = Ben
3x+2 = 2x + 14
3x - 2x = 14 - 2
1x = 12
x = 12
To check:
Jill = Ben
3x + 2 = 2(x) + 14
3(12) + 2 = 2(12) + 14
36 + 2 = 24 + 14
38 = 38
There are 12 pens or a dozen of pens in a full box.

Answer:
It's a proportion.
2 is to x as 15 is to 9, or 2/x = 15/9.
Multiply the means and extremes
15x = 18
divide both sides by 15 to get x by itself.
x = 1.2
