Question

6 * ? = 20. Please help it is sorta confusing

Answer 1

Imagine 20/6, or 6 times what equals 20.  You will find the answer is 3.33333333333 or 3.3 repeating

Answer 2

6 * ? = 20 is the same thing as 6x = 20.  When solving an equation for x, if it is multiplied by something, you divide whatever it is multiplied by from both sides.

So since x is multiplied by 6, you need to divide 6x by 6, and divide 20 by 6   6x/6 = 20/6

6x/6 = x
20/6 = 3 1/3 or 3.33

Your final answer should be x = 3 1/3 or x = 3.33 (they are the same thing)

Hope this helps you understand sorry if its still confusing I tried to make it simple.
