In order to solve proportions, apply cross-multiplication:

$\longrightarrow\tt{14\cdot9=x\cdot22}$

Simplify:

$\longrightarrow\tt{126=22x}$

Divide both sides by 22:

$\longrightarrow\tt{\displaystyle\frac{126}{22}=\frac{22x}{22}}$

Reduce the fraction:

$\longrightarrow\tt{\displaystyle\frac{63}{11}=x}$

I hope this helps you! Have an awesome day!
