$$\frac { 2 x } { 18 } = 2.8$$

$x=25.2$

Multiply both sides by $18$.

$$2x=2.8\times 18$$

Multiply $2.8$ and $18$ to get $50.4$.

$$2x=50.4$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$x=\frac{50.4}{2}$$

Expand $\frac{50.4}{2}$ by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by $10$.

$$x=\frac{504}{20}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{504}{20}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $4$.

$$x=\frac{126}{5}$$
