Question

By what would you multiply each side of the equation ax=27 to solve x

Answer 1

- its explained well on top

Answer 2

Explanation:

ax= 27........I would normally solve this by division....but it says multiply....so multiply both sides by 1/a

example :

3x = 27.....multiply both sides by 1/3

1/3(3/1)x = 27 * 1/3

x = 27/3 which reduces to 9

u have to multiply by the reciprocal of a to get rid of a
