Given the equation:
2 (1/9) x =2/81
Solve for x.
Solution:
In order to solve for x, we simply multiply first 2 to its corresponding parenthesis.
2 (1/9) x =2/81
2/9x = 2/81
Now we need to multiply both sides by 9/2 which is the reciprocal of 2/9 in order to cancel out 2/9 x and determine the value of x.
2/9x ( 9/2) = 2/81 ( 9/2)
x = 9/81
x = 1/9
Final answer:
x = 1/9
