Answer: x=9 ✅

Explanation:

Hii student, I'd love to help you out! (:

In this problem, we need to solve a proportion. This is fun, right?

3,2,1 - start!

Solving proportions is easy as winking, if you are familiar with a skill that is known as "cross multiplying".

We have these two proportions:

(oh and by the way, proportions are just equivalent (equal) fractions. That's all proportions are. Nothing more)

Our proportions are:


\large\boldsymbol{\cfrac{x}{3}=\cfrac{6}{2}}

We multiply x times 2 and 3 times 6; upon doing that we obtain.


\multimap\quad \tt 2x=18

Did you see that? 2 fractions turned into a little equation that we can solve within 5 seconds (or faster)!

To do that we simply divide both sides by 2, since x is multiplied by 2 and we need to get it all by itself on one side of the equal sign)


\multimap\quad \tt x=9

Woohoo! We found the answer! ✨

Cheers! (:
