1. **State the problem:** Solve the equation $$\frac{10x}{25} = \frac{19}{15}$$ for $x$.
2. **Use the cross-multiplication method:** When two fractions are equal, their cross products are equal. So,
$$10x \times 15 = 19 \times 25$$
3. **Calculate the products:**
$$150x = 475$$
4. **Isolate $x$ by dividing both sides by 150:**
$$x = \frac{475}{150}$$
5. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$x = \frac{\cancel{475}^{\times 19}}{\cancel{150}^{\times 6 \frac{1}{4}}}$$
Since 475 and 150 share a common factor 25,
$$x = \frac{19}{6 \frac{1}{4}} = \frac{19}{6.25}$$
6. **Convert to improper fraction or decimal:**
$$6 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{25}{4}$$
So,
$$x = \frac{19}{\frac{25}{4}} = 19 \times \frac{4}{25} = \frac{76}{25}$$
7. **Final answer:**
$$x = \frac{76}{25}$$ or approximately $$3.04$$.
