3L=7 what would L be? i was multipling
- 7*5= 35 then divide by 3..but that
5 does not check right
sorry typo--the question is what is L for:
3L=7
-
5
Huuhh? where does the 5 come into play ?
3L = 7
divide both sides by 3
3L/3 = 7/3
L = 7/3
looks like we had overlapping posts
if it was 3L/5 = 7
(3/5)L = 7
(5/3)(3/5)L = (5/3)(7)
L = 35/3
the question is to divided 3L by 5 to equal or total up to 7...that's how I took it would the answer then change to ..I would multiply the 7 by 5 then divide them by 3..no?
Yes, isn't that what I did in my last reply ??
look at the right side of my 2nd last line
or
3L/5 = 7
times 5
3L = 35
divide by 3
L = 35/3
To find the value of L in the equation 3L = 7, you need to isolate L. Let's go through the steps to solve it.
Given equation: 3L = 7
To isolate L, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 3:
3L ÷ 3 = 7 ÷ 3
This simplifies to:
L = 7/3
So, the value of L is 7/3.
Now, let's double-check our answer:
If we substitute L = 7/3 back into the original equation, we should get a true statement:
3 * (7/3) = 7
21/3 = 7
7 = 7
Since the equation is true, our answer is correct. The value of L is indeed 7/3.
