Question

Which method should be used to solve for x? 2.5 x=5.7

Answer 1

Answer:

To solve for x in equation $2.5x=5.7$  we should use Division property of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider  the given  equation $2.5x=5.7$

Division property of equality states when we divide both sides of an equation by same non zero number , then also both sides remain equal

Applying  Division property of equality to the given equation

$2.5x=5.7$

Divide both sides by 2.5

$\Rightarrow \frac{2.5x}{2.5}=\frac{5.7}{2.5}$

We get,

$\Rightarrow x=2.28$

Thus, to solve for x  in equation $2.5x=5.7$ we should use Division property of equality.

Answer 2

X is being multiplied by 2.5 so to undo that you have to divide both sides by 2.5 so x=5.7/2.5
