    X=Amount of skittles at the start.

    Nasir ate 10 skittles and Seif ate 6 skittles so the number of skittles they had (x) - how many they both ate equals : 2/3;

    (x-10) / (x-6) = 2/3

    3 (x-10) = 2 (x-6)

    3x-30=2x-12

    x-30=-12

    x=18

    They each started with 18 skilttles.
