To solve for X just divide $2/3$ from both sides

The reason you do this is because it will isolate X. $2/3$ divided by $2/3$ is one, and 26 divided by $2/3$ will be 39.
Your answer will be 39.

$x=39$

Solve:

$2/3x=26$

Simplify $2/3x$ to $(2x)/3$ .

$(2x)/3=26$

Multiply both sides by $3$ .

$color(red)cancel(color(black)(3))^1xx(2x)/color(red)cancel(color(black)(3))^1=26xx3$

Simplify.

$2x=78$

Divide both sides by $2$ .

$x=39$
