Question: x/15=3
My answer: 45
Am I correct? Did I make a mistake? I've been having problems with math recently, so I wont be surprised if I made a mistake.
You're right.
x = 45
Thanks for letting me know, I was so confused. So, on questions like this I am supposed to multiply the whole number by the denominator? Example: Question: x/3=12 Answer: 36.
Yes. You're multiplying both sides by the denominator.
Thanks for letting me know.
You are welcome.
To find out if your answer is correct or if you made a mistake, let's solve the equation step-by-step together.
The given equation is:
x/15 = 3
To isolate the variable x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 15:
15 * (x/15) = 15 * 3
The 15 on the left side cancels out, leaving:
x = 45
Now, comparing your answer with the result we obtained, it appears that you are correct. The value of x is indeed 45.
So, congratulations! Your answer of 45 is correct, and you did not make a mistake in this case. Keep practicing and reviewing math concepts regularly to improve your skills.
