Divide by 2/3, which is the same as multiplying by 3/2:

x = 41 * 3 / 2 = 61.5

It is a simple linear equation.
Its solution is fond by multiplying both sides by 3/2, getting:
x = 3*41/2 = 123/2 = 61.5

x = 123/2
x= 61.5

Here is how it works.

(2/3)x=41

Isolate x by "dividing both sides by (2/3)"
To divide by a fraction, "invert and multiply"

so; (3/2)(2/3)x=(3/2)41

(6/6)x=123/2
x=123/2
x=61 1/2
