Solving with x in the Denominator - College Algebra

[shirleyhd]

I’m not that good at explaining, as I’m just learning these stuff, but I will be explaining how to solve this.

We first cross multiply, resulting in 36x=15. Next we need to isolate the variable, X. We can do this by dividing both sides by 36, as the opposite of the multiplication between 36 and X is division. 36 cancels out 36 leaving only X, and 15/36 is simplified into 5/12. Therefore, X is 5/12.
