Problem: 2/3x=8/9 what does x equal?
I need to find what X equals
2/3 x = 8/9
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3/2. That will
eliminate the fraction on the left.
(3/2)(2/3 x) = (8/9)(3/2)
x = (8/9)(3/2)
x = (8 * 3)/(9 * 2) .... 8/2 is 4/1
x = (4 * 3)/(9 * 1) .... 3/9 is 1/3
x = (4 * 1)/(3 * 1)
x = 4/3
Verify it.
2/3 x = 8/9
2/3 (4/3) = 8/9
(2 * 4)/(3 * 3) = 8/9
8/9 = 8/9
Answer: x = 4/3
