Question

2/3x =36

Possible answers
+24
-24
+54
-54

Answer 1

`+54`

Explanation:

To solve this, you will need inverse operations to isolate the x. Since x is multiplied by 2/3, you want to divide it by 2/3. Since we always have to do the same thing to both sides, we will also divide 36 by 2/3.

`(2)/(3)x = 36\\\\$\scriptsize{/2/3\;\; /2/3}\\`

`(2)/(3) x \; / \; (2)/(3) = x`

(
`(2)/(3)` cancels out)

`(36)/(2/3) = 54`

`x = 54`
