Answer: x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the proportion 3/x=1/x−6, you can cross-multiply to eliminate the denominators:

3×(x−6)=1×x

Now, distribute on the left side:

3x−18=x

Next, subtract x from both sides:

2x−18=0

Add 18 to both sides:

2x=18

Divide by 2:

x=9

So, the solution to the proportion is x=9.
