Answer:

1/18

Explanation:

First you need to reorder and reduce the equation

2x = 1/9

Then you need to divide both sides by 2

2x ÷ 2 = 1/9 ÷ 2

Dividing is equivalent to multiplying with the reciprocal

1/9 × 1/2

x = 1/18

Answer:

Explanation:

Divide by two on each side and you get x=(4/36)/2. Simplify 4/36 to 1/9 and switch divided by 2 to times 1/2. Multiply 1/9 and 1/2 which equals 1/18. So x=1/8
