For this case we must solve the following equation:


\frac {5} {6} x = \frac {10} {3}

Multiplying by "6" on both sides of the equation we have:


5x = \frac {10 * 6} {3}\\5x = \frac {60} {3}\\5x = 20

Dividing between 5 on both sides of the equation we have:


x = \frac {20} {5}\\x = 4

So, the solution is
x = 4

Answer: LAST OPTION.

Explanation:

In order to solve for the variable "x" from the expression
(5)/(6)x=(10)/(3), you need to follow these steps:

1) You need to multiply both sides of the equation by 3:


3((5)/(6)x)=((10)/(3))(3)\\\\(15)/(6)x=10

2) You need to multiply both sides of the equation by 6:


(6)((15)/(6)x)=(10)(6)\\\\15x=60

3) Finally, you can divide both sides of the equation by 15:


(15x)/(15)=(60)/(15)\\\\x=4
