Question

How to solve for equation: 2x/3=108

Answer 1

Given:

`(2x)/(3)=\text{ 108}`

Let's solve for x.

First step:

Multiply both sides by 3

`\begin{gathered} (2x)/(3)\ast3=108\ast3 \\ \\ 2x\text{ = }324 \end{gathered}`

Second step:

Divide both sides by 2

`\begin{gathered} (2x)/(2)=(324)/(2) \\ \\ x\text{ = }162 \end{gathered}`

ANSWER:

x = 162
