Answer:

x = 9 1/3

Explanation:

To do this, we need to do a few things. I'll put the steps separate so you can easily understand.

Step 1: Set up a proportion


(14)/(6) = (x)/(4)

Step 2: Cross multiply

6x = 14 x 4

6x = 56

6x = 9 1/3

Step 3: Check


(14)/(6) = (6)/(9(1)/(3) )

Cross multiply to check if they equal

6 x 9 1/3 = 14 x 4

56 = 56 ✔

Step 4: Answer

x = 9 1/3

I'm always happy to help :)
