The inverse of "multiplication by 2%2F3", is "multiplication by 3%2F2".

A property of equality is that if you apply an operation by a number to one side, then you must apply it to the other side also, so that you maintain equality.

X%282%2F3%29=10%2F24

X%282%2F3%29%283%2F2%29=%2810%2F24%29%283%2F2%29

X=5%2F8
