Question

Determine the value for x in the equation x over 4 and 8 tenths equals 2 and 2 tenths

9.6
10.56
2.6
7.0

Answer 1

10.56

Explanation:

Since we have a fraction in the left hand side of the equation, we gotta get rid of it.

Multiply both sides by 4.8 (or 4.8/1 if that helps to visualize it):

We get x = 10.56
