just multiply the 117 to the other side

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Seeing as how 'x' is being divided by 117...you could multiply both sides of the equation by 117...this will cancel out that fraction on the right hand side and isolate 'x'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 7/9 X 117 = x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or cross multiply
