Answer 1

A.) x = 12

B.) x = 4

Explanation:

A.) 2x/3 = 8

First let’s multiply both sides by three to get rid of our division equation,

2x/3 = 8

*3 *3

2x = 24

Now we divide both sides by 2 to single out our variable,

2x = 24

/2 /2

X=12

Let’s check our answer just to be sure this is correct, we do this by plugging in “12” for our x

2(12)/3 = 8

24/3 = 8

8 = 8

Now we know that x = 12 is true,

B.)3x/2 = 6

Again well will multiply both sides by 2 to remove our division equation,

3x/2 = 6

*2 *2

3x = 12

We divide both sides by 3 to remove our coefficient in front of the variable,

3x = 12

/3 /3

x=4

Let’s check our answer once again,

3x/2 = 6

3(4)/2 = 6

12/2 = 6

6 = 6

X = 4 is true

Answer 2

a)

2x/3 = 8. First, multiply both sides by 3 to make 2x = 24. Then, divide both sides by 2: x = 12.

b)

3x/2 = 6. First, multiply both sides by 2 to make 3x = 12. Then, divide both sides by 3: x = 4.

Hope this helps!
