hello!

In order to solve a proportion, you should cross-multiply:-


\bf{\displaystyle(3x)/(10) =(3)/(2)}

Multiply 3x times 2 and 10 times 3:-


\bf{6x=30}

Divide both sides by 6:-


\boxed{\bf{x=5}}

note:-

Hope everything is clear; if you need any clarification/explanation, kindly let me know, and I'll comment and/or edit my answer :)
