Let's solve the problem given to us today! The problem is the following:

`\mapsto\quad\bf{\cfrac{9x}{7}=18}`

We need to solve for x.

__________________________________________________________

To solve for x, isolate it on one side of the equation.

__________________________________________________________

Multiply both sides by 7

`\mapsto\quad\bf{9x=18*7}`

`\mapsto\quad\bf{9x=126}`

Divide both sides by 9:

`\mapsto\quad\bf{x=14}`

Therefore, x = 14.

Answer 2

x = 14

Explanation:

given

`(9x)/(7)` = 18

multiply both sides by 7 to clear the fraction

7 ×
`(9x)/(7)` = 7 × 18 ( simplify )

9x = 126 ( divide both sides by 9 )

`(9)/(9)` x =
`(126)/(9)` , then

x = 14
