Chapter 7 - Section 7.6 - Proportions and Problem Solving with Rational Equations - Exercise Set - Page 536: 2

The solution is $\frac{16}{3}$

$\frac{x}{2}$=$\frac{16}{6}$ 6x=16*2 6x=32 x=$\frac{32}{6}$=$\frac{16}{3}$ Check $\frac{16}{3}$ $\frac{x}{2}$=$\frac{16}{6}$ $\frac{\frac{16}{3}}{2}$=$\frac{16}{6}$ $\frac{16}{3}$6=16*2 16*2=16*2 32=32
