In Middle School math, it means to find out what number ' x ' must be in order for the equation to be a true statement. In middle school, it can only be one number.

Step-by-step explanation: Solving an equation means finding the value of the variable that makes the equation true.

Let's look at an example.

Solve the following equation.

3x + 1 = 7

To solve the equation, we need to get <em>x</em> by itself on one side and we do that by subtracting 1 from both sides to get 3x = 6. Now just divide both sides of the equation by 2 and we find that <em>x = +2</em>.

Thus, the solution to the equation is x = +2.

So the value of the variable is +2.

4/9÷1 7/15
guajiro [1.7K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  10/33

Step-by-step explanation:

The usual approach (if your calculator won't do this for you) is to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction, then perform the division. That division can be accomplished by multiplying the numerator by the inverse of the denominator.

  1 7/15 = (15+7)/15 = 22/15

Then ...

  (4/9)/(22/15) = (4/9)(15/22) = (2·2·3·5)/(3·3·2·11) = (2·5)/(3·11) = 10/33

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Both fractions can be given the same denominator:

  4/9 = 20/45

  1 7/15 = 22/15 = 66/45

Now, the division is ...

  (20/45)/(66/45) = 20/66 = 10/33
