Question

How many times can 4.6 billion be subtracted by 50 to get 0?

Answer 1

4.6 billion can be subtracted by 50 92 million times to get 0.

Explanation:

To better understand the problem, we can interpret it as an algebraic equation. The variable
`x` will represent the number of times 4.6 billion can be subtracted by 50.

`4,600,000,000 -50x=0`

Subtract 4,600,000,000 from both sides of the equation:

`-50x=-4,600,000,000`

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of
`x`, -50:

`x=92,000,000`

Therefore, we can conclude 4.6 billion can be subtracted by 50 92 million times to get 0.

We can check our work by substituting the
`x` value into the initial equation:

`4,600,000,000-50(92,000,000)=0`

`4,600,000,000-4,600,000,000=0`

`0=0`

Now we have confirmed our answer is correct.
