Answer:

1.5

Explanation:

An equation 10(23+7)=100ℓ+100ℓ is given and we are asked to find the value of ℓ.

To solve the equation, we have to move all the values containing ℓ on one side and other values on other side of equality.

10(23+7)=100ℓ+100ℓ

Multiply 10 with 23 and 7 which gives

(10 * 23 ) + ( 10 * 7) = 200 ℓ

Solving the above equation,

230 + 70 = 200 ℓ

300 = 200 ℓ

=> ℓ = 300 / 200

=> ℓ = 3/2

=> ℓ = 1.5

Answer: 1.5

Explanation:

(10×23) + (10×7)=200l

230+70=200l

300=200l

l=300 ÷ 200

cancel the zeros to make it easier

l=3÷ 2

l=1.5
