#y=15#

Explanation:

#9/6=y/10#

Reduce the left term by factorising and cancelling the common terms in the numerator and denominator.

#(3xx3)/(3xx2)=y/10#

#(cancel3xx3)/(cancel3xx2)=y/10#

#3/2=y/10#

Multiply both sides by #10#.

#10xx3/2=10xxy/10#

Reduce the terms by factorising and cancelling the common terms.

#2xx5xx3/2=cancel10xxy/(cancel10)#

#cancel2xx5xx3/(cancel2)=y#

#5xx3=y#

#15=y#
