To solve the equation "two-thirds x = 6", we need to isolate the variable x.
Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of the coefficient of x, which is 3/2 (or 2/3 flipped).
two-thirds x * (3/2) = 6 * (3/2)
Step 2: Simplify the equation.
(2/3) * (3/2) * x = 18/2
1 * x = 9
x = 9
Therefore, the value of x is 9.
