Question

Solve for x : 4x/9=18 (1 point) Responses 4.5 4.5 18 18 8 8 40.5

Answer 1

To solve for \( x \) in the equation:

\[
\frac{4x}{9} = 18
\]

First, multiply both sides of the equation by 9 to eliminate the fraction:

\[
4x = 18 \times 9
\]

Calculating \( 18 \times 9 \):

\[
18 \times 9 = 162
\]

So the equation simplifies to:

\[
4x = 162
\]

Next, divide both sides by 4:

\[
x = \frac{162}{4}
\]

Calculating \( \frac{162}{4} \):

\[
\frac{162}{4} = 40.5
\]

Thus, the solution is:

\[
x = 40.5
\]

The correct response from the choices is **40.5**.
