To find x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

Starting with 2x/7 = 6/3, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 7 to cancel out the denominator on the left side:
2x/7 * 7 = 6/3 * 7
2x = 6 * 7/3
2x = 6 * 7/3
2x = 42/3

Finally, dividing both sides by 2:
x = 42/3 * 1/2
x = 21/3.

So, x = 21/3.
