How to solve x/3 = 4/6? Get the answer and stepwise instruction to solve linear equation in one variable 𝒙.

We have x/3 = 4/6

Multiply both sides by 3, which is the denominator of the ratio x/3
Note: if a = b, then a × c = b × c

Therefore, x × 3/3 = 4 × 3/6

x = 12/6

To simplify, divide both numerator and denominator by 6, which is the GCF of 12 and 6:

x = 2/1 or, x = 2
