How to solve 2/3 = 4/x? Get the answer and stepwise instruction to solve linear equation in one variable 𝒙.
We have 23 = 4x
Cross multiplying the ratios, gives
2x = 3 × 4
Divide both sides by 2, which is the coefficient of x
Note: if a = b, then a ÷ c = b ÷ c
Therefore, 2x2 = 3 × 42
x = 122
To simplify, divide both numerator and denominator by 2, which is the GCF of 12 and 2:
x = 61 or, x = 6
