Question

Find the value of $x$ which balances the equation $\frac{2x}{9}=8$.

• A. 9
• B. 72
• C. 36
• D. 3

Answer 1

The correct option is C 36

$\text{Given,}\frac{2x}{9}=8$.

Multiplying both the sides by 9, we get

$\frac{2x}{9}\times 9=8\times 9$

$\Rightarrow 2x=72$

Dividing both the sides by 2, we get

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{72}{2}$

$\Rightarrow x=36$
