Question

What is the solution of the equation 33 = 5x? how could you use multiplication to solve the equation?

Answer 1

x = 6.6

Explanation:

5(6.6) = 33

Answer 2

Answer: x = 33/5 or 6.6

Explanation:

33 = 5x

We just need to divide both sides by 5

And we will get the answer

x = 33/5 or 6.6

We can test it by put 33/5 in for x

33 = 5(33/5)

33 = 165/5

33 = 33

So x = 33/5 is the right answer!
