Question

What is the solution of the equation 2x = 7? round your answer to the nearest ten-thousandth?

Answer 1

divide 2 to both sides
x=7/2

well 7/2 =3 R 1

1/2 = 0.5

hence 3.5

Answer 2

x=3.5000

Explanation:

the solution of the equation
`2x = 7`

To solve for x, we need to get 'x' alone

To get 'x' alone we need to remove 2 from x

2x means 2 times x

To remove 2, we do opposite operation

opposite operation of multiplication is division. so we divide both sides by 2

`2x = 7`

`x=(7)/(2)`

`x=3.5`

To get nearest ten thousandth we add zeros

x=3.5000
