Question

5) Solve for x:X - 7.5 = 186) Solve for x:45x = 14.5

Answer 1

We have the following:

5)

`x-7.5=18`

solving for x:

`\begin{gathered} \text{let's add 7.5 on each side} \\ x-7.5+7.5=18+7.5 \\ x=25.5 \end{gathered}`

6)

`\begin{gathered} 45x=14.5 \\ \\ \end{gathered}`

solving for x:

`\begin{gathered} \text{ divide on each side by 45} \\ x=(14.5)/(45) \\ x=0.32 \end{gathered}`
