Answer:
x=2
Explanation:
1- Make sure variables are on one side and numbers on the other
Subtract both sides by 35/45
x/18 = 8/9 - 35/45
2- Find the LCM and subtract the right side
LCM is 45 (9x5 is 45, and 45 x 1 is 45)
8/9 x 5/5 = 40/45
40/45 - 35/45 = 5/45 = 1/9
x/18 = 1/9
Multiply both sides by 18 to get x alone
x = 1/9 x 18 = 18/9 = 2
