Question

How do you fin x using the equation y=1 .5 x

Answer 1

BY dividing by 1.5

Explanation:

Since the variable is next to the number that multiplication so you would do inverse operation!

Answer 2

Answer: Possible answers:

- Isolating the varible

- Dividing both sides of the equation by 1.5

- x =
`\displaystyle (y)/(1.5)`

Explanation:

In this case, "finding x" will be setting the equation equal to x. In other words, we will isolate the variable x.

To do this, we will divide both sides of the equation by 1.5. Sine the x is being multiplied by 1.5, the inverse operation of multiplication is division.

y = 1.5x

`(y)/(1.5)` =
`(1.5x)/(1.5)`

`(y)/(1.5)` = 1x

`(y)/(1.5)` = x

x =
`\displaystyle (y)/(1.5)`
