Question

2. Solve: x/4.6 = 3.5 x/4.6 = 3.5 X M Check: Right Hand Side

Answer 1

Starting with the equation:

`(x)/(4.6)=3.5`

Multiply both sides by 4.6:

`(x)/(4.6)\cdot4.6=3.5\cdot4.6`

Simplify the left hand side:

`x=3.5\cdot4.6`

Simplify the right hand side:

`x=16.1`

The answer is: 16.1.

To check your answer, substitute x=16.1 into the first equaton to see if you obtain the same number in both sides:

`(16.1)/(4.6)=3.5`

Simplify the left hand side:

`3.5=3.5`
