Find x given that 132x =72ten
What is 72ten?
To find the value of x in the equation 132x = 72ten, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
The equation 132x = 72ten can be simplified by dividing both sides of the equation by 132:
(132x) / 132 = (72ten) / 132
This simplifies to:
x = (72ten) / 132
To further simplify the equation, we need to convert "ten" to a numerical value. Since "ten" usually represents the base 10 system, we can assume it represents the number 10.
Now our equation becomes:
x = (72 * 10) / 132
Multiplying 72 by 10 gives us 720:
x = 720 / 132
To calculate this division, we divide 720 by 132:
x ≈ 5.45454545...
So, the value of x is approximately 5.45454545... (or as a fraction, 60/11).
