Answer 1

To solve for \( x \) in the equation \( \frac{4x}{9} = 18 \), follow these steps:

1. Multiply both sides by 9 to eliminate the fraction:

\[
4x = 18 \times 9
\]

2. Calculate \( 18 \times 9 \):

\[
18 \times 9 = 162
\]

So now the equation is:

\[
4x = 162
\]

3. Next, divide both sides by 4 to solve for \( x \):

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

4. Simplify \( \frac{162}{4} \):

\[
x = 40.5
\]

Thus, the solution is:

\[
\boxed{40.5}
\]
