Answer 1

To solve the equation "two-thirds x = 6," we need to isolate x.

First, multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction:

3 * (two-thirds x) = 3 * 6
2x = 18

Then, divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:

2x/2 = 18/2
x = 9

Therefore, the correct answer is x = 9.
