Solve 12/5=2x/3

$$\frac { 12 } { 5 } = \frac { 2 x } { 3 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{18}{5} = 3\frac{3}{5} = 3.6$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by 3.

$$\frac{12}{5}\times 3=2x$$

Express \frac{12}{5}\times 3 as a single fraction.

$$\frac{12\times 3}{5}=2x$$

Multiply 12 and 3 to get 36.

$$\frac{36}{5}=2x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$2x=\frac{36}{5}$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x=\frac{\frac{36}{5}}{2}$$

Express \frac{\frac{36}{5}}{2} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{36}{5\times 2}$$

Multiply 5 and 2 to get 10.

$$x=\frac{36}{10}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{36}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=\frac{18}{5}$$
