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 by dividing by 4.72, we need to divide both sides of the equation:
4.72(x-6.56) / 4.72 = 10.4 / 4.72
This simplifies to:
x - 6.56 = 2.2033898305
To isolate the variable x, we can add 6.56 to both sides of the equation:
x - 6.56 + 6.56 = 2.2033898305 + 6.56
This simplifies to:
x = 8.7633898305
Therefore, the number that should be added to both sides after dividing by 4.72 is 6.56.
