If two fractions are equal to each other, then their inverses must be equal as well:

[tex] \dfrac{a}{b} = \dfrac{c}{d} \implies \dfrac{b}{a} = \dfrac{d}{c} [/tex]

So, we have

[tex] \dfrac{1}{54x} = \dfrac{1}{9} \implies 54x = 9 [/tex]

Now divide both sides by 54:

[tex] x = \dfrac{9}{54} = \dfrac{1}{6} [/tex]


Note:

Given the slightly ambiguous way the question is written, you may also mean

[tex] \dfrac{1}{54}\; x = \dfrac{1}{9} [/tex]

In this case, simply multiply both sides by 54:

[tex] x = \dfrac{54}{9} = 6 [/tex]
