Multiply both sides by x so that x will be in the numerator. Multiply both sides by 3/7 to cancel out the 7/3. Cancel out 7/3 with 3/7 and multiply to solve for x. It's easier to recognize cross multiplication when the numerators and denominators travel across the equals sign to multiply.

Hope this helps.
