Answer:

10

Explanation:

1. Write an equation to represent the ratio of the sides to the corresponding sides in the second figure.

6/9 = x/15

6 and x are both numerators because they are corresponding sides and 9 and 15 are both numerators because they are corresponding sides.

2. Solve for x.

multiply both sides by 9

6 = 9x/15

multiply both sides by 15

90 = 9x

solve for x by dividing both sides by 9

x = 10

*sorry if the explanation was confusing but I hope you understand with the equation and numbers
