Question

Write an equation for the sentence “The product of a number n and 7.7 equals 112.42.” Solve for the variable.

Answer 1

The Product = Multiply
Multiply n and 7.7 equals 112.47
N * 7.7 = 112.42
Divide both sides by 7.7
N = 112.42/7.7
112.42/7.7 = 14.6
14.6 = N
So, the variable is 14.6

Answer 2

`n=14.6`

Explanation:

we know that

The expression "The product of a number n and
`7.7` equals
`112.42` " is equivalent to the algebraic equation

`7.7n=112.42`

Solve for n

Divide by
`7.7` both sides

`7.7n/7.7=112.42/7.7`

`n=112.42/7.7`

`n=14.6`
