Answer 1

\[\frac{ 3 }{ 5x } = 5\]
like that?

Answer 2

Yeah

Answer 3

Oh! except the x goes next to the 3

Answer 4

\[\frac{ 3x }{ 5 } = 5\]

Answer 5

Yes! :) What's the first step?

Answer 6

multiply both sides by 5 :D

Answer 7

So would it be...15/5?

Answer 8

hmmmm. why would it be that?

Answer 9

5/1*3/5?

Answer 10

it's equal to not multiplication

Answer 11

Please explain then...

Answer 12

the reason we can multiply 5 by both sides if because if we do one thing to one side and do it to the other side it will be the same number
\[\frac{ 3x }{ 5 } = 5\] ^ we can divide that 5 or
^ multiply that five but whatever we do to one side have to do to the other, we could also divide 3x to make it \[5 = \frac{ 5 }{ 3x }\]

Answer 13

Do you mean 3/5=5/3??? I'm so confused.

Answer 14

ok let's just forget what we CAN do cuz that's infinite
let's do...\[\frac{ 3x }{ 5 } * \frac{5}{1} = 5 * 5\]
\[3x = 25\]
