first of all: divide both sides of the equation by 86
after,
multiply both sides of the equation by 100 and what do you get??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
explain using numbers
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if you divide both sides by 86,
\[\frac{ x }{ 100 } = \frac{ 50 }{ 86 }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so can you carry out the next step??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
