Answer: x = 27/2
Step-by-step explanation: In this equation, our first step is to isolate the x term by adding 2 to both sides.
On the left, -2 and +2 cancel out and were left
with 2/3x and on the right, 7 + 2 simplifies 9.
So we have 2/3x = 9.
In order to get x by itself, since it's being multiplied by a fraction,
we multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of that fraction.
The reciprocal of a fraction is just that fraction
flipped so the reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2.
So we have (3/2)(2/3x) = 9(3/2).
On the left, the 2's cancel and the 3's cancel.
On the right, 9(3/2) is 27/2.
So x = 27/2
