Solve: StartFraction 10 Over x EndFraction = 2 a. x = 5 c. x = 20 b. x = 10 d. x = 15 Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

Answer 1

solve: $\frac{10}{x}$ = 2

Answer:

a. x= 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question given, we will follow the steps below;

$\frac{10}{x}$ = 2

multiply x to both-side of the equation

$\frac{10}{x}$ × x= 2× x

at the left-hand side of the equation, x will cancel-out x, leaving us with 10

10 = 2x

divide both-side of the equation by 2

10/2 = 2x/2

at the right-hand side of the equation, 2 at the numerator will cancel-out 2 at the denominator leaving us with just x, while on the left-hand side of the equation, 10 will be divided by 2

5 = x

x=5
