Answer

Option D is correct.

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation

9 : x = x : 4

To solve this, we know that ratios can be written in fraction form

(9/x) = (x/4)


\begin{gathered} (9)/(x)=(x)/(4) \\ \text{Cross multiply} \\ x^2=9*4 \\ x^2=36 \end{gathered}

Take the square root of both sides

√(x²) = √(36)

x = 6

Hope this Helps!!!
