Question

What is the value of X.Circle the correct answer. (Show work please thank you)

23X=115.




A.X=7 X=5

Answer 1

23x = 115

x is being multiplied by 23, but you want x alone. Since x is being multiplied by 23, you need to undo the multiplication to end up with x alone. The operation that is opposite to multiplication is division. You need to divide 23x by 23 to end up with x alone. A rule of equations is that you must divide both sides by the same number. Divide both sides by 23.

23x/23 = 115/23

x = 5

Answer 2

23 x=115 the solution is x=5 because 115 divided by 5 is 23
