14/2 = 7 + 2 = 9.
26/2 = 13 + 2 = 15.

I think (7×2)=14.
(7+2)=9,
(13×2)=26,
(13+3)=15.

9 * 2 = 18 - 4 = 14.
Hence, 26 + 4 = 30/2 = 15
So, 15 is the answer.

14:9::26:x.

9 * 26 = 14 * x
234 = 14 * x
x = 234/14
x = 16.7.

So, approximately x=15.

@All.

I think this is also correct.

1+4= 5+4 = 9.
2+6 = 8+4 = 12.

So, why not 31?

3 X 5 = 15 - 1 = 14.
2 X 5 = 10 - 1 = 9.
5 X 5 = 25 + 1 = 26.
5 X 6 = 30 + 1 = 31.

294/7=42 it means 7*6 = 42.
So 8 * 7 = 56 and 56 * 8 = 448.
