2/3 x=8 So... you would do 8 divided by 2/3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hell yes son

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What else then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What else is there? That will solve for x. I don't know what else to do with that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know I'm a little confused.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are correct: to solve for x, divide 8 by 2/3. What are you still confused about?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Divide both sides by 2/3, to be exactly. Your objective is to isolate x and we know that 2/3 is with x and we don't want this. We have to "move" this fraction to the other side by divide both sides by the fraction itself. Does this make sense?
