B) X = 10
C) X = 16
D) X = 60

Answer 1

hi

x/6 = 10

In a equation , you can use every math operation you know as long as you do the same thing on both sides.

Here we have x/6 = 10

But what I want is x .

Here X is split in 6. So I 'm going to multiplicate all by 6 to find the original amount of X

In bold operation that are often not written but that you must understand to do that kind of exercices.

So : x/6 = 10

(x/6) *6 = 10 *6

6x/6 = 60

x = 60
