Step-by-step explanation:
To be able to find the value of X, we have to cross multiply the two fractions then solve the equation.
As so,
6/4 = 15/x
Cross Multiply:
6 x X = 6x
4 x 15 = 60
We cross multiplied, now we can set up the equation:
6x = 60
Simplify: (Get X by itself)
Divide 6 on each side
6 / 6x = 60 / 6
x = 60 / 6
x = 10
Now we have the total of X! To check our answer, we can substitute X for 10 in the original equation.
As so:
6/4 = 15/10
6/4 = 1.5
15/10 = 1.5
Correct! Our answer is X = 10!

C. "David's equation is correct, because their spending will be multiplied by the number of months and then subtracted from their savings"
they are technically saying "Look we have 12,350 to use. How long (y) will the savings (12,350) last after using 240 each month (x)
so the amount they use *PER* month gets subtracted from the savings because they are using that money to pay with
Hope this helps :)
