Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Translate the problem statement into a mathematical equation.

    "Three times 125x125x" can be written as 3×125x3 \times 125x.
    "Equals" means ==.
    "Two-third of 2100" can be written as 23×2100\frac{2}{3} \times 2100.
    So the equation is:

    3×125x=23×21003 \times 125x = \frac{2}{3} \times 2100
  2. Simplify both sides of the equation.

    Multiply on the left side:

    375x=23×2100375x = \frac{2}{3} \times 2100

    Calculate the right side:

    375x=2×21003375x = 2 \times \frac{2100}{3} 375x=2×700375x = 2 \times 700 375x=1400375x = 1400
  3. Solve for xx by dividing both sides by 375.

    x=1400375x = \frac{1400}{375}
  4. Simplify the fraction.

    Both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 25.

    x=1400÷25375÷25x = \frac{1400 \div 25}{375 \div 25} x=5615x = \frac{56}{15}

    The final answer is 5615\frac{56}{15}.
