2/3 = x23=x

Explanation:

To get the correct answer, you must have a single xx on one side of the equals sign.

To get a single xx from 3x3x, you must divide 3x3x by 33.

You must also divide 22 by 33 as to get the correct answer as you must do what you have done to one side of the equals sign to the other side of the equals sign.

So:

2/3 = cancel3x/cancel3

Which is written as:

2/3 = x
