Answer:


\huge\boxed{w=9}

Explanation:

In order to solve for w here, let's write the proportion.


(5)/(6) = (10)/(w+3)

To solve for w, we need to get it isolated on one side of the equation. To do this, we can first multiply both sides by 6 and w+3 in order to get rid of the denominators.


  • (5)/(6) \cdot 6 \cdot w+3 = (10)/(w+3) \cdot (w+3) \cdot6

  • 5(w+3) = 60

  • 5w+15 = 60

  • 5w = 45

  • w = 9

Therefore, w=9.

Hope this helped!
