solve 6a=5/7

OpenStudy (yacoub1993):

\[6a=\frac{ 5 }{ 7 }\]

OpenStudy (nubeer):

divide both sides by 6

Parth (parthkohli):

Or multiply both sides by \(7\) to make life easier.

OpenStudy (yacoub1993):

\[6a \div 6=\frac{ 5 }{ 7 }\div6\]

OpenStudy (yacoub1993):

like that

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes.

OpenStudy (yacoub1993):

so the answer is \[\frac{ 5 }{ 42 }\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yes

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Better like this: \[\frac{1}{6}\times 6a=\frac{5}{7}\times\frac{1}{6}\]

OpenStudy (yacoub1993):

thanks alot guys :)

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yw

OpenStudy (yacoub1993):

another question please

OpenStudy (yacoub1993):

\[\frac{ q }{ 7 }\div \frac{ q }{ 26 }\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Multiply by the reciprocal of q/26

OpenStudy (yacoub1993):

i am realy weak in algebra Can u please help me out?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

This is arithmetic, not algebra. \[\frac{q}{7}\div \frac{q}{26}=\frac{q}{7}\times\frac{26}{q}=\frac{26}{7}\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Cancel the q's as they are common factors.

OpenStudy (yacoub1993):
