2/3*x=1

Find the number which is x

2/3x=1

Multiply both sides by 3/2 to get x by itself

2/3x(3/2)=1(3/2)

Cross out 2 and 3. Divide by 2 and 3. Then becomes 1*1*1*1*x=x

x=1(3/2)

pretend that there is a denominator for 1 which is 1

x=1/1(3/2)

Multiply the numerators together

1*3=3

Multiply the denominators together

1*2=2

Answer:

x=3/2
