Question

Please solve for x. x/16 = 9/2

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{16}=\frac{9}{2}$

Start by multiplying 16 to both sides

$(\frac{16}{1}) * \frac{x}{16} = (\frac{16}{1}) * \frac{9}{2}$

16s on the left-hand cancel

$x =(\frac{16}{1}) * (\frac{9}{2})$

$x =( \frac{144}{2} )$

we can simplify that expression

$x = 72$
