How do you even start this? How do you solve this question:
2x = 9x^2
------------------------------------------------------------
Divide both sides of the equation by x.
You get 2 = 9*x. Then , divide by 9. You get x=2%2F9.
To verify, plug in 2/9 into the original equation:
2x+=+2%282%2F9%29+=+4%2F9 and 9x%5E2+=+9%282%2F9%29%5E2+=+9%284%2F81%29+=+36%2F81+=+4%2F9.
