Corresponding sides of the two triangles occur in a ratio with one another. In particular, you have the relationship

[tex]\dfrac6{6+x}=\dfrac{10}{15}=\dfrac y{y+4}[/tex]

We only need the first two parts to solve for [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]\dfrac6{6+x}=\dfrac{10}{15}\implies6\cdot15=10(6+x)\implies90=60+10x\implies30=10x[/tex]

[tex]\implies\boxed{x=3}[/tex]
