Question

How do you solve `2 = 3x`?

Answer 1

`2/3 = x`

Explanation:

To get the correct answer, you must have a single `x` on one side of the equals sign.

To get a single `x` from `3x`, you must divide `3x` by `3`.

You must also divide `2` by `3` as to get the correct answer as you must do what you have done to one side of the equals sign to the other side of the equals sign.

So:

`2/3 = cancel3x/cancel3`

Which is written as:

`2/3 = x`
