The value of X is 20.

To find this answer, you must first find the least common denominator of both fractions. In this case, the LCD is 36.

Next, you multiply the left side by 4/4. The fraction 4/4 is simply found by dividing the right side denominator (36) by the left side denominator (9). 9 goes into 36 4 times.

5/9 * 4/4 = 20/36.

Thus meaning X = 20. I hope this helps!
