To solve the equation 5/8(x-1/2)10, the first step is to reverse the multiplication. What number should both sides be divided by?
To reverse the multiplication, we need to divide both sides of the equation by the number 10.
To reverse the multiplication in the equation 5/8(x-1/2)10, the first step is to divide both sides by 10.
To solve the equation 5/8(x-1/2)10, the first step is indeed to reverse the multiplication. To do this, you need to divide both sides of the equation by 10.
Dividing both sides by 10 would cancel out the multiplication on the right side, leaving us with:
(5/8)(x - 1/2) = 10/10
Simplifying the right side gives us 1:
(5/8)(x - 1/2) = 1
Now, we can move on to the next steps to solve for x.
Wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's go through the correct steps to solve the equation 5/8(x-1/2)10.
The first step is to simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
(x - 1/2)
Next, we multiply the expression by 5/8:
5/8(x - 1/2).
Finally, we multiply the result by 10:
10 * 5/8(x - 1/2).
So, the equation becomes:
10 * 5/8(x - 1/2) = 0.
Now we can proceed with solving the equation.
Still wrong
Apologies for the confusion. Let's try again.
To solve the equation 5/8(x-1/2)10, the first step is to simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
x - 1/2.
Next, we multiply the expression by 5/8:
(5/8)(x - 1/2).
Finally, we multiply the result by 10:
10(5/8)(x - 1/2).
So, the equation becomes:
10(5/8)(x - 1/2) = 0.
Now we can proceed with solving the equation.
To solve the equation 4.72(x-6.56)=10.4, the first step is to reverse the multiplication by dividing by 4.72. After dividing by 4.72, what number should be added to both sides?
To reverse the multiplication in the equation 4.72(x-6.56) = 10.4, we need to divide both sides by 4.72.
So, we have:
(x - 6.56) = 10.4 / 4.72.
To simplify the right side, we divide 10.4 by 4.72:
(x - 6.56) = 2.203.
Now, to isolate the variable x, we add 6.56 to both sides of the equation:
(x - 6.56) + 6.56 = 2.203 + 6.56.
This simplifies to:
x = 8.763.
Therefore, the number that should be added to both sides is 6.56.
