do you think you guys can help me? please

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

\[\frac{ 2 }{1 } = \frac{ 8x - 2 }{ 9 }\]

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

cross multiple

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

so 2 times 9 = 1 times 8x -2

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

so 18 = 8x - 2 18 + 2 = 8x

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

20 = 8x

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

20/8 = x

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

2.5 = x
