to solve the equation 4.72 (x - 6.65) = 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, the equation becomes:
(x - 6.65) = 10.4 / 4.72
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. To do so, we can add 6.65 to both sides:
(x - 6.65) + 6.65 = (10.4 / 4.72) + 6.65
This simplifies to:
x = (10.4 / 4.72) + 6.65
Therefore, the number that should be added to both sides after dividing by 4.72 is 6.65.
