a moment when you will use the division property of equality is like this:
$$\huge \rm \color{purple}{2x = 4}$$ 
since you want to find out the value of x, you need to divide both sides by 2 to isolate x and thne find out the value of x \($$\large \rm \color{blue} {\frac{ 2x  }{ 2 } = \frac{ 4 }{ 2 }}$$

sorry but according to the Openstudy C.o.C direct answers are not possibly given out. (however, some people decide not to follow this code of conduct.)

ok well is there a way to help explain in a 2 year olds english what the answer is?

danjs · Answer

multiplication and division are the same, if you have a fraction  x / 2 = 3

to isolate x,   you can multiply both sides of that thing by 2

breyliance · Answer

ohhhhhhhhho ok i guess i get it thank you

danjs · Answer

$$\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }*x = 20$$

see if you multiply by 4, you get 4/4 on the side, which =1, and you have only x

breyliance · Answer

ohhh ok thank you very much

danjs · Answer

not sure which way the division property goes, look up the definition,  if you start with 

2x = 3

then divide by 2,  you get   (2/2)* x = 3/2

danjs · Answer

tha tis probably the way they want
