Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf x=\frac{8}{3} \ or \ x \approx 2.67}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

$\frac{3}{4}x=2$

Since we want to solve for x, we must isolate the variable.

x is being multiplied by 3/4. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 3/4 or multiply both sides by the reciprocal. To find the reciprocal, flip the numerator and denominator of the fraction.

• Reciprocal: 3/4 --> 4/3

$\frac{3}{4}x / \frac{3}{4}=2/ \frac {3}{4}$

or

$\frac{4}{3} *\frac{3}{4}x=2* \frac{4}{3}$

$x=2/ \frac {3}{4}$

or

$x=2* \frac{4}{3}$

$x=\frac{8}{3} \\\x \approx 2.67$

x is equal to 8/3 or approximately 2.67.
