Quiz: Multiplication and Division Equations

1. What is the value of [tex][tex]$x$[/tex][/tex] in the equation [tex][tex]$5.5x = 17.6$[/tex][/tex]?

A. 3.2
B. 12.1
C. 23.1
D. 96.8



Answer :

To solve the equation [tex]\(5.5x = 17.6\)[/tex] for [tex]\(x\)[/tex], follow these steps:

1. Start with the equation:
[tex]\[ 5.5x = 17.6 \][/tex]

2. To isolate [tex]\(x\)[/tex], you need to divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of [tex]\(x\)[/tex], which is 5.5. This will help you solve for [tex]\(x\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x = \frac{17.6}{5.5} \][/tex]

3. Perform the division on the right side of the equation to find the value of [tex]\(x\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x = 3.2 \][/tex]

Thus, the value of [tex]\(x\)[/tex] in the equation [tex]\(5.5x = 17.6\)[/tex] is [tex]\(3.2\)[/tex].
