#x=960/47#

Explanation:

We can use cross multiplication to now obtain the equation

#9.4x=6(32)#, which simplifies to

#9.4x=192#

To get rid of the decimal, let's multiply both sides by #10# to now have

#94x=1920#

Dividing both sides by #94#, we get

#x=1920/94#, or in simplest form,

#x=960/47#

Hope this helps!
