Answer:

x = 9

Explanation:

Another way of doing this is by guessing and checking.

What number multiplied by 6 equals to 54?

Well, we know that 6 x 5 = 30.

6 x 6 = 36

6 x 7 = 42

6 x 8 = 48

6 x 9 = 54

Double Checking by replacing the variable from the equation by 9...

6 x 9 = 54

We can also just put the variable on one side of the equal sign and then move the 6 over with the 54, and also changing the operation from multiplication to division.

Showing you so it makes sense...

6x = 54

6 · x = 54

x = 54 ÷ 6

x = 9

Hope this helped. :)
