24\times 720=\frac{2}{3}\times 3x\times 6\times \frac{2}{3}
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 24x, the least common multiple of x,3,8.
17280=\frac{2}{3}\times 3x\times 6\times \frac{2}{3}
Multiply 24 and 720 to get 17280.
17280=2x\times 6\times \frac{2}{3}
Cancel out 3 and 3.
17280=12x\times \frac{2}{3}
Multiply 2 and 6 to get 12.
17280=\frac{12\times 2}{3}x
Express 12\times \frac{2}{3} as a single fraction.
17280=\frac{24}{3}x
Multiply 12 and 2 to get 24.
17280=8x
Divide 24 by 3 to get 8.
8x=17280
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=\frac{17280}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
x=2160
Divide 17280 by 8 to get 2160.
