Isolate x: First, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.\(\newline\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{3}x\)To do this, we can multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 32, which is 23.\(\newline\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{2}{3}x \times \frac{3}{2}\)
Multiply by reciprocal: Now, we perform the multiplication on both sides.(1×3)/(2×2)=(2×3)/(3×2)xThis simplifies to:(3)/(4)=x
