(3)/(8x)=27
Since the variable is in the denominator on the left-hand side of the equation, this can be solved as a ratio. For example, (A)/(B)=C is equivalent to (A)/(C)=B.
(3)/(27)=8x
Since x is on the right-hand side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left-hand side of the equation.
8x=(3)/(27)
Reduce the expression (3)/(27) by removing a factor of 3 from the numerator and denominator.
8x=(1)/(9)
Divide each term in the equation by 8.
(8x)/(8)=(1)/(9)*(1)/(8)
Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
x=(1)/(9)*(1)/(8)
Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
x=(1)/(72)
