Answer:

  (b)  x = 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know x such that the product of 2 and x is 3/4.

Setup

The product can be written ...

  2x = 3/4

Solution

Multiply both sides of the equation by 1/2:

  (1/2)(2x) = (1/2)(3/4)

  x = 3/8

__

Additional comment

The value 1/2 is chosen because it is the reciprocal of the coefficient of x. The product of a number and its reciprocal is 1, the multiplicative identity element. That means (1/2)(2x) = 1x = x, the value of x by itself.
