Solve the Rational Equation for x 2/3 square root of x=6

$\frac{2}{3} \sqrt{x} = 6$

Step 1

Multiply both sides of the equation by $\frac{3}{2}$ .

$\frac{3}{2} (\frac{2}{3} \cdot \sqrt{x}) = \frac{3}{2} \cdot 6$

Step 2

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify $\frac{3}{2} (\frac{2}{3} \cdot \sqrt{x})$ .

Combine $\frac{2}{3}$ and $\sqrt{x}$ .

$\frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{2 \sqrt{x}}{3} = \frac{3}{2} \cdot 6$

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{2 \sqrt{x}}{3} = \frac{3}{2} \cdot 6$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{1}{2} (2 \sqrt{x}) = \frac{3}{2} \cdot 6$

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $2 \sqrt{x}$ .

$\frac{1}{2} (2 (\sqrt{x})) = \frac{3}{2} \cdot 6$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{1}{2} (2 \sqrt{x}) = \frac{3}{2} \cdot 6$
