# 28.
9/x = 3/2
The way you solve these types of equations is to "cross multiple."
(9)(2) = 3x
18=3x
Now you divide each side by 3 to get x by itself.
6=x
# 31.
5/9 = 3/x
You solve this one exactly like we solved the one above. Cross multiply and then divide by the number next to the x.
5x=(3)(9)
5x=27
x=27/5
# 39.
a/(a+1) = (a + 3)/a
Here we start off by cross multiplying.
a^2 ...
