Question 394366
If the equation is {{{(2/3)x=20/9}}}, then simply multiply both sides by 3 to get {{{2x=60/9}}}, then divide both sides by 2 to get {{{x=30/9}}} and reduce to get {{{x=10/3}}}



So if the equation is {{{(2/3)x=20/9}}}, then the solution is {{{x=10/3}}}



Or....



If the equation is {{{2/(3x)=20/9}}}, then cross multiply to get {{{2*9=20*3x}}}, then multiply everything out to get {{{18=60x}}}. Now divide both sides by 60 to get {{{18/60=x}}} and reduce and rearrange terms to get {{{x=3/10}}}



So if the equation is {{{2/(3x)=20/9}}}, then the solution is {{{x=3/10}}}
