Answer:
x= 40.5
Explanation:
We want to find out what x is. Therefore, we must get x by itself on one side of the equation.
2/3x= 27
2/3 and x are being multiplied. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 2/3.
2/3x / 2/3 = 27/ 2/3
When dividing by a fraction, you can also multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction.
To find the reciprocal, flip the numerator (top number) and denominator( bottom number)
2/3 —> 3/2
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3/2
2/3x *3/2 = 27*3/2
x= 27*3/2
x= 27/1*3/2
x= (27*3)/(1*2)
x= 81/2
x= 40.5
