Question

Write a verbal sentence then solve the equation. The quotient of X and 6 is 8.7

Answer 1

6/x = 8.7

Explanation:

let x = a number that we will find out

6/x = 8.7 (determinethe defined range)

6/8 = 8.7, x = 0 (multiply both sides)

6 = 8.7x (swap sides)

8.7 x = 6 (divide both sides)

x = 20/29

check

x = 20/29, x = 0

OR x = 0.689655
