You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assume the problems are (x is not part of the denominator) = 36
Multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the denominator
2x = 3(36)
2x = 108
x =
x = 54
:
Check solution by substituting 54 for x in the original equation = 36
3 cancels into 54,
2(18) = 36
;
: =
Multiplying by 18 will clear the denominators here
2(5)x = 7
10x = 7
x =

:
Check solution =
Cancel 5 into 10 =
