Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the given figure, we can form similar triangles:

Triangle 1:

Triangle 2:

To solve for the value of x, we use ratio.


\begin{gathered} (10)/(6)=(15)/(x) \\ \text{Simplify and rearrange} \\ x=((15)(6))/(10) \\ x=(90)/(10) \\ \text{Calculate} \\ x=9 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the value of x is 9.
