Answer:


x=(3)/(4)

Explanation:

First, we know we want to get x all by itself. So, let's multiply it by 2.


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

Then we have:


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

Now, we have to simplify the right side of the equation, so, let's rewrite it.


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

All we have to do now is simplify.


x=(6)/(8)

Luckily (and ironically) both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 2, so...


x=(3)/(4)

I hope this helps!
