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 by 4.72:
\( \frac{4.72 (x - 6.56)}{4.72} = \frac{10.4}{4.72} \)
This simplifies to:
\( x - 6.56 = \frac{10.4}{4.72} \)
Now, to isolate the variable x, we need to add 6.56 to both sides of the equation:
\( x - 6.56 + 6.56 = \frac{10.4}{4.72} + 6.56 \)
Simplifying this will give us the final answer for x.
