2 1/3x =7 7/8
-3 3/8
-3 1/2
- 3 5/8
- 4 1/4** my answer
(2 1/3)x= 7 7/8.
7x/3 = 63/8
7x = 3*63/8 = 189/8
X = 3 21/56 = 3 3/8.

Hi there is 2022
To solve the equation 2 1/3x = 7 7/8, we can follow these steps:
1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
- 2 1/3 becomes (2 × 3 + 1) / 3 = 7/3
- 7 7/8 becomes (7 × 8 + 7) / 8 = 63/8
2. Rewrite the equation with the improper fractions:
- (7/3)x = 63/8
3. Multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of the coefficient of x (in this case, the reciprocal of 7/3):
- (8/7) * (7/3)x = (8/7) * (63/8)
4. Simplify:
- x = (8/7) * (63/8)
5. Cancel out any common factors between the numerators and denominators:
- x = (1 * 9) / (1 * 1)
6. Evaluate the result:
- x = 9
Therefore, the correct answer is x = 9.
