Question

The product of 5 and a number x is 14 .What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=\frac{14}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of 5 and a number x is 14

Product means the multiplication, multiply the number 5  and x becomes 5x

5x is 14. 5x is equal to 14

The equation becomes $5x=14$

Now we divide 5 on both sides to get 'x' alone

$5x=14$

$\frac{5x}{5} =\frac{14}{5}$

$x=\frac{14}{5}$

So the value of x is 14/5

Answer 2

From the given statement, we can formulate the given expression or equation:

5 x = 14

 

To solve, simply divide both sides by 5, so that:

5 x / 5 = 14 / 5

x = 2.8
