Question

Write an equation and solve. The factors are five and x. The product is fifty-six and one tenth.

Answer 1

Given:

The factors are five and x.

The products of the factors are fifty-six and one-tenth.

So, we will have the following equation:

`5x=56.1`

Divide both sides by 5

`\begin{gathered} (5x)/(5)=(56.1)/(5) \\ \\ x=11.22 \end{gathered}`

So, the answer will be: x = 11.22
