Solve:
Multiply both sides of the equation by the mutiplicative inverse of 6/5, that's 5/6
Simplify.
Now multiply both sides by x.

Formulas when solving for x in fraction problems set equal to each other.
a/b=c/x
b*c/a=x
x/a=b/c
a*b/c=x
a/x=b/c
a*c/b=x
a/b=x/c
a*c/b=x
ok you have 6/5=90/x
So your formale is b*c/a=x
a=6 b=5 c=90
plug into the eqaution you get
5*90/6=x
450/6=x
75=x
