Question

2/3 = x/9 what does x equal

Answer 1

x=6

Explanation:

We are given the equation:

2/3=x/9

We want to find out what x is. Therefore, we must get x by itself.

x is being divided by 9. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the equation by 9.

9*(2/3)=(x/9)*9

The 9s on the right will cancel each other, so we are left with:

9*2/3= x

6=x

x is equal to 6.

Answer 2

x = 6

Explanation:

2/3 = x/9

Using cross products

2*9 = 3x

18 = 3x

Divide by 3

18/3 = 3x/3

6 =x
