Example: 2x/7 = 12

First, multiply the reciprocal of 2/7, which is 7/2, to both sides of the equation to isolate x. You should now have:

x = 12 x 7/2 --> x= 6 x 7 --> x = 42

*simplify 12 x 7/2 by cancelling two from 12 and 2.

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking for, but hopefully it helps.
