Question

The product of 2 and a number x is 3/4 .

Which statements are true?

Select each correct answer.

x=−54
x+2=34
x2=34
x=32
x=38
2x=34

Answer 1

x+2=34 and 2x=34

Explanation:

Answer 2

`x = (3)/(8)`

and

`2x = (3)/(4)`

Explanation:

Let the number be x.

The product of 2 and the number x, is written as

`2 * x \: \: or \: \: 2x`

If the product of 2 and the number x is ¾;

Then we can write the equation:

`2x = (3)/(4)`

When we divide both sides by 2, we get:

`(2x)/(2) = (3)/(4) / 2`

This implies that:

`x = (3)/(4) * (1)/(2)`

This simplifies to

`x = (3)/(8)`

Therefore the statements which are true are:

`x = (3)/(8)`

and

`2x = (3)/(4)`
