@stephstar101 Come on give it a try (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was gonna say the same to you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Will you like.. Leave me alone? My bad that I don't understand. Get off my back.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's not bad that you don't understand. It's bad that you're not trying to learn and you only want the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You don't know that. I do try and learn, but I have dyslexia, which ,akes it REALLY hard. Just leave me alone. No one asked your opinion anyway.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kthxbye

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Byebye(:

OpenStudy (stephstar101):

Hmmm, are you sure you don't want to learn this? I was going to explain it >.<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do want to learn this. Why does everyone say I don't?!!!

OpenStudy (callisto):

16/X=2/3 First, multiply both side by X, what do you get?

OpenStudy (stephstar101):

Alright then, let's start! 16/x=2/3 <- this is your given information 16=(2/3)*x <- I multiplied both sides by x 48=2x <- multiply both sides by 3 The last step is for you to do, just divide both sides by 2 and you will get your answer!

OpenStudy (stephstar101):

Oh noes! Callisto, I'm sorry >.<

OpenStudy (callisto):

No worries.... :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay wait. You multiply both sides by x and you get 48=2x right? Then you divide both sides by two?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be 24??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D

OpenStudy (stephstar101):

Actually you multiply both sides by X and get 16=(2/3)*x :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

>_< UGH!

OpenStudy (stephstar101):

No no!! It's not too terrible, here I'll show you! If you multiply 16/x on the left, you will get 16 because the x cancels. You multiply (2/3) by x and you get (2/3)*x! Just 2 more steps until the end!!
