Question

solve the equation 2x / 3 = 18 (with explination)

Answer 1

Answer:

2x/3=18

2x=18*3

2x=54

x=54/2

x=27

Answer 2

Answer:

Given that:

$\dfrac{2x}{3} = \large{18}$

By cross multiplying;

$\frac{2x}{3} = \frac{</strong><strong>1</strong><strong>8}{1} \\ \\ 2x \times 1 = </strong><strong>1</strong><strong>8 \times 3 \\ \\ 2x = </strong><strong>5</strong><strong>4</strong><strong>$

Now, Dividing both sides by 2;

$2x = </u></strong><strong><u>5</u></strong><strong><u>4</u></strong><strong><u> \\ \\ \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{</u></strong><strong><u>5</u></strong><strong><u>4}{2} \\ \\ x = </u></strong><strong><u>2</u></strong><strong><u>7</u></strong><strong><u>$

Therefore, the value of x is 27.
