Answer 1

x - 4 = 10.3 EQUATION

SOLUTION:

x = 10.3 + 4

x = 14.3

Answer 2

Answer: x = 10.3 ÷ 4

Step-by-step explanation: if we were to work this out forgetting about the equation it can be worked out by dividing the 10.3 by 4 to find the length of the pieces so, now to express it as an equation, we have to add x into our sum 4 × ? = 10.3 : 4x = 10.3. The answer for x would be x = 2.58.
