Calculation:
The given ratios can be simplified further by doing cross product:
x35=610
10(x3)=6(5)
10x30=30
10x=30+30
10x=60
10x10=6010
x=6

Step 1
x35=610
Multiply both sides of the equation by 10, the least common multiple of 5,10.
2(x3)=6
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x3.
2x6=6
Add 6 to both sides.
2x=6+6
Add 6 and 6 to get 12.
2x=12
Divide both sides by 2.
x=122
Divide 12 by 2 to get 6.
x=6
