x=6

First, multiply both sides by $x$ $x$ to get
$\frac{13 x}{39} = 2$ $(13x)/39 =2$

Then, multiply both sides by 39 to get
$13 x = 2 \cdot 39$ $13x=2*39$

which is equal to
$13 x = 78$ $13x=78$

Now divide both sides by 13 to get

$x = \frac{78}{13}$ $x=78/13$
$x = 6$ $x=6$

How do you solve \frac{13}{39}=\frac{2}{x}1339=2x\frac{13}{39}=\frac{2}{x}?
