2/x= (3/9) -1/9
2/x=2/9
x=9

Answer 4

Thank you so much @bere1 :)

Answer 5

no problem :)

Answer 6

\[\frac{2}{x}+\frac{1}{9}=\frac{1}{3}\]
multiplying and dividing by 9 and x resp. to terms of LHS
\[\frac{2*9}{x*9}+\frac{1*x}{9*x}=\frac{1}{3}\]
\[\frac{18}{9x}+\frac{x}{9x}=\frac{1}{3}\]
\[\frac{18+x}{9x}=\frac{1}{3}\]
cross-multiply
\[3*(18+x)=9x\]
\[54+3x=9x\]
subtracting 3x from both sides
\[54=6x\]
dividing by 6 both sides
\[9=x\]
