X/2 = 3 1/3 can you give me A step by step explanation

X/2 = 3 1/3

So first thing we are going to turn the mixed fraction into an improper fraction because it’s easier to work with.

x/2 = 10/3

No we are going to make x the subject. To do this we are going to transpose by just multiplying each side by 2 (it’s basically doing the opposite of what is happening on the x side).

x/2 * 2 = 10/3 * 2

The 2 * 2 on the x side is cancelled out.

x = 10/3 * 2

Now we multiply to find x.

x = 10/3 * 2
x = 20/3

Now turn it back to a mixed fraction.

x = 6 2/3
