A) X = 4
B) X = 10
C) X = 16
D) X = 60

Answer 1

hi  

x/6 = 10

In a equation , you can use every math operation you know as long as you do the same thing on both sides.  

Here we have   x/6 = 10  

But what I want is  x .  

Here X is split in 6.  So  I 'm going to multiplicate all by 6 to find the original amount of X  

In bold operation that are often not written but that you must understand to do that kind of exercices.

So  :  x/6 = 10

      (x/6) *6  = 10 *6

        6x/6 =  60

             x = 60
