Answer:

x = 2/3

Explanation:

To solve this, cross multiply:

3(13x) = 4(6.5)

39x = 26

Divide both sides by 39:

39x/39 = 26/39

x = 26/39

Since the numerator and denominator are divisible by 13, we can simplify the fraction:

x = (26÷13)/(39÷13) = 2/3

Multiply each side by 13/6.5 to isolate x

13/6.5 *3/4=13/6.5 *6.5/13x
