Question

The general strategy for solving an equation of the form x/a= bis to

A. divide both sides by a
O B. divide both sides by b
C. multiply both sides by a
D. multiply both sides by b
E. divide both sides by x

Answer 1

• x/a=b

Best way is multiply with a

By which x gets isolated

Let's check how?

• ax/a=ba
• x=ab

Answer 2

`\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}♨`

The general strategy for solving the equation in form of :

`\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \: (x)/(a) = b`

is to multiply both sides by a, because if we multiply both sides by a, then a on left side get cancel out and we get the value of x in terms of a and b.

so, correct choice is C. multiply both sides by a
