Divide

x by 1.x =27 /3

Divide

27 by 3.x=9

Divide each term by 3 and simplify. hope this helps :)

Answer 2

To solve for equations that consists of factions, you have to cross multiply, and we also have to use reverse PEMDAS.

`(3x)/(27) = (2)/(3)`

3x * 3 = 27 * 2

6x = 54

Divide both sides by 6

x = 9
