which of the following should be done to both sides of the equation −6x=48 to solve the value of x
divide by 6
multiply by -6
add 6
divided by -6
To solve the value of x in the equation −6x = 48, both sides of the equation should be divided by -6.
which of the following should be done to both sides of the equation x/12=6 to solve the value of x
To solve the value of x in the equation x/12 = 6, both sides of the equation should be multiplied by 12.
what is the solution of the equation 5/2x = -1/8
To find the solution of the equation (5/2)x = -1/8, we need to isolate the variable x. First, we can cross multiply:
(5/2)x = -1/8
Clear the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of (5/2), which is 2/5:
(2/5)(5/2)x = (2/5)(-1/8)
The 5/2 and 2/5 terms cancel each other out, leaving us with:
x = -1/40
The solution to the equation is x = -1/40.
