Question

3/4x = 2 what is the value of X?

Answer 1

x = 2.67

Explanation:

`(3)/(4) x=2\\\\3x=8\\x=2.67`

Answer 2

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf x=(8)/(3) \ or \ x \approx 2.67}}`

Explanation:

We are given the equation:

`(3)/(4)x=2`

Since we want to solve for x, we must isolate the variable.

x is being multiplied by 3/4. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 3/4 or multiply both sides by the reciprocal. To find the reciprocal, flip the numerator and denominator of the fraction.

• Reciprocal: 3/4 --> 4/3

`(3)/(4)x / (3)/(4)=2/ \frac {3}{4}`

or

`(4)/(3) *(3)/(4)x=2* (4)/(3)`

`x=2/ \frac {3}{4}`

or

`x=2* (4)/(3)`

`x=(8)/(3) \\\x \approx 2.67`

x is equal to 8/3 or approximately 2.67.
