Question

Find the value of x in each of the following
a) 2x/3= 8
b) 3x/2=6​

Answer 1

A) X = 12

B) X = 4

Explanation:

For both equations, the first step is the same. You must isolate x.

A) 2x/3 = 8

Multiply each side by 3 to get rid of the fraction.

2x = 24

Divide by 2.

x = 12

B) 3x/2 = 6

Multiply each side by 2 to get rid of the fraction.

3x = 12

Divide by 3.

x = 4
