2/3x=5

1 answer

To solve the equation \(\frac{2}{3}x = 5\), you can follow these steps:

  1. Multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of \(\frac{2}{3}\), which is \(\frac{3}{2}\):

\[ x = 5 \cdot \frac{3}{2} \]

  1. Calculate the right side:

\[ x = \frac{15}{2} \]

So, the solution is:

\[ x = 7.5 \]

or

\[ x = \frac{15}{2} \] (in fraction form).
