8^10=6^x
80=6x
13.33=x
You are completing the same task so each side of the equation. This is what is called a balanced equation. Whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other.
It is not a direct ratio of 8 is to 10 as 6 is to x. This will give you the wrong answer. You are comparing each side of the equation to the task at hand. The given is that you know that each side of the equation equals each other because it performs the same task.

Matthew can build a block all in 3 days Andy can build the wall in 5 days How long will it take if they work together?
1 7/8 days Matthew in one day can build 1/3 of the block. Andy in one day can build 1/5 of the block. Together in one day they can build 8/15 of the bolck. It means they need less than 1 day to build 7/15 of the block, which is 7/8 of the day. Thus, they need 1 day and 7/8 of the next day to build the block together.
