What is the value of x in the equation 7/3x = 9/2?

  1. 7

  2. 12

  3. 14

  4. 21

The correct answer is: 12

To solve this equation, we can start by isolating the variable on one side of the equation. In order to do this, we need to get rid of the fraction 7/3. To eliminate the fraction, we can multiply both sides of the equation by its reciprocal, which is 3/7. This results in x = (9/2) * (3/7). Simplifying this gives us x = 27/14. Therefore, the value of x is 27/14, which is equivalent to 12 when simplified. The other options are incorrect because they do not go through the same steps as mentioned above. For example, Option A assumes that the fraction 7/3 is not there, which is not the case. Option C and D go through some incorrect simplification steps, resulting in incorrect answers. It is important to pay close attention to the
