(2)/(3x)=10
Multiply both sides by 3x:

2=30x
Divide both sides by 30:

(2)/(30)=x
Simplify:

x=(1)/(15)
Check:

(2)/(3*(1)/(15))=10

(2)/((3)/(15))=10

(15*2)/(3)=10

(30)/(3)=10

10=10

Solutions

Simplify 2/3x to 2x/3

2x/3=10

2) Multiply both sides by 3

2x=10×3

3)
Simplify 10×3 to 30

2x=30

4)
Divide both sides by 2

x=30 ÷ 2

5)
Simplify 30 ÷ 2 to 15

x=15

Answer = 15
