Question

Solve for x. 5.6x = 39.76 A) 6.8 B) 7.1 C) 7.6 D) 7.9

Answer 1

You will definitely want a calculator for this one if it is allowed.

5.6x = 39.76

To solve for x, you need to divide both sides of the equation by 5.6 to leave only x on the left.

x = 39.76/5.6 (Reduce this)

x = 7.1

Check your work.

5.6 (7.1) = 39.76 Yes. It checks.

Answer 2

b) 7.1

Explanation:

Let's solve the problem,

→ 5.6x = 39.76

→ x = 39.76 ÷ 5.6

→ [ x = 7.1 ]

Thus, option (b) is correct.
