Answer

$x \approx 3.4$

Work Step by Step

To solve a proportion, we use the cross products property, multiplying the numerator of one ratio with the denominator of the other ratio, and vice versa: $4(6) = 7x$ Multiply on the left side of the equation: $24 = 7x$ Divide each side of the equation by $7$ to solve for $x$: $x \approx 3.4$
