2/3 x = 6

1 answer

To solve the equation 2/3 x = 6, we need to isolate x.

To do this, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 2/3, which is 3/2:

(2/3 x) * (3/2) = 6 * (3/2)

This simplifies to:

(2/3) * (3/2) * x = 18/2

Multiplying the numerators and denominators, we get:

6/6 * x = 9

Now, simplify the left side of the equation:

1 * x = 9

Therefore, x = 9.
