Question

Please solve for x. x/16 = 9/2

Answer 1

x = 72

Explanation:

`(x)/(16)=(9)/(2) \\\\`

Start by multiplying 16 to both sides

`((16)/(1)) * (x)/(16) = ((16)/(1)) * (9)/(2)`

16s on the left-hand cancel

`x =((16)/(1)) * ((9)/(2))`

`x =( (144)/(2) )`

we can simplify that expression

`x = 72`
