Answer: x=20/3=6.67

Explanation:

To solve proportions, the most useful way is to use [cross multiplication], where we not multiply horizontally but as diagonally.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given

x:10=9:6

Cross Multiply

9·x=6·10

9x=60

Divide 9 on both sides

9x/9=60/9

x=20/3=6.67

Hope this helps!! :)
